Changes:

• Added Dialogue function IsPdaTaskActive(chapTitle, taskTitle)

Fixes:

• Item reward counts higher than in config file no longer lead to a removed chapter but just a warning
  
• Deactivating a chapter-activated mission leads to not being able to play the mission in the same session

====

Changes:

• Map Info Panel: Fixed "Habitable Zone MIN/MAX" distance display (distance was shown too big before)

• DialogueSystem: added new function OpenHtmlWindow(string title, string url, float widthPerc, float heightPerc)
  
• Updated: Polaris Trading Station Variant 11 (thx to Kaeser)

• Html browser: if URL starts with %SHARED_DATA% it is replaced with a link to the actual shared data folder
  
• Updated: Underground Bunker now does not explode anymore when removing the core (Note: breaking other parts might still lead to if falling apart as intentional part of the design. Signs put up )
  
• Updated: Sigma Fulcrum and Derpacs station (thx Kaeser)

Fixes:
