📝 Release Notes

• 🚀 Performance: a workaround for a WPF bug where indeterminate button animations won't stop rendering when the indicator is set to invisible is implemented. This fixes the issue where any activity that modifies the button progress indicator causes constant CPU usage even when the application is idle.
• 📦 Packaging: we now use dotnet publish for release binaries. Release date has been dropped from the filename, since it's unnecessary and only adds to the complexity.
• ⚾ Dependencies: updated to latest stable versions.
