0.9.0 - Update Notification

Please note that this release contains separate packages targeting Debian 11 (bullseye) and 12 (bookworm). You can check your version of Debian with lsb_release -c command.

This release adds checking for updates during application startup, so you don't have to do it manually. When a new version is published, there's a log message emitted and a small notification appears in the top-left corner of the screen. You can disable this check with the new --disable-update-check option if you never want to see the notification, or your device is not connected to the internet.

Additionally, performance of the crossfade transition effect introduced in previous version (0.8.0) has been improved. (Update 29-01-2024: this did not actually have any effect)

Note: if you're building the project from source, there's a new dependency libsdl2-ttf-dev that needs to be installed.
