Decided to finally step off the "zero point something" versioning scheme treadmill for Amberol, and released 2024.1.

Fixed up a bunch of small issues that were tied up in my attempt at getting "1.0" out of the door, before realising that version numbers are complete fiction, and there's no reason whatsoever for an application to start out of "zero point" and reach the fabled "one point oh" status.

The new review process for manifest changes on Flathub gets an A, though I'm not entirely sure it's a good idea to block on removal of static permissions; isn't that the goal?

Anyway, thanks to everyone who contributed to Amberol since the last release. A big shout out goes to Yuri Izmer, who added a whole marquee label widget for the song details.

The idea is not judge the Flatpak metadata change and miss out on anything.

People often remove permissions they need without understanding the consequences, so it also acts as a barrier to shipping broken updates. We've had people forcing wayland on to apps that only support X11 and merging them without any testing, or removing filesystem permissions they actually need.

@bbhtt yeah, I see the point in catching regressions, and I appreciate the safety net; though I'd still probably allow removing --filesystem read-only permissions

Vala uses since almost 20 years still 0. version numbers. While it is very much stable these days :P
