Discussion
This release supports EU4 1.14 (The Cossacks). Other improvements include the convert pop totals option properly handling province development, a few more random crashes fixed, pop types being driven by the new buildings in 1.12, converted canals, fixes to random world/custom nation conversion, a fix to liberty desire so that colonies can be better absorbed or released (it's based on attitude now), and the addition of some missing localisations for non-English speakers (they're the English ones for now until someone does some translation work, but they're better than the nothing that was there before).
Finally, the frontend should really truly now link you to log.txt and FAQ.txt if something goes wrong, giving you an initial chance to fix the most basic issues before needing to ask for help.
Changes
Support 1.12/1.13's new buldings for determining pop types
Use province development for converting pop totals

Only place naval bases in port provinces

Custom/random nations no longer convert strangely.
Make validator happier.
Warn when expected output name already exists in the output folder.
Update FAQ with a new de-ironmanning technique.
Quick hack to make cultural unions a more useful tool.
Rework the liberty desire to instead use the attitude towards the overlord
