v0.5.2 - 2024-06-19

This is a minor release containing many UI improvement and bugfixes. To illustrate all of these changes, here are before and after screenshots of version 0.5.1 and 0.5.2:

Notably is the redesign of the Spine buttons (#1539), the rework of the TopBar (#1580, #1621), and the many improvements to the Settings page including a redesign of the toggle switches (#1549), the combo boxes (#1549), and the addition of sections (#1618). The settings page will continue to evolve over time, but this is already a big step forward.

We've added a banner to the new tab-page to better promote the panel system. You can dismiss the banner manually, or it will be dismissed automatically, if you add a new panel (#1584, #1595):
