V7.6.0

This is the first release of the Tribler 7.6 series. It includes many tweaks and extensive Channels GUI changes. Most notable changes:

• Refactored Channels GUI
• Fixed slow channel processing - channels processing speed increased 10x-100x times
• Added Sentry crash report processing
• Removed TrustChain in favour of our new LedgerZero traffic accounting system
• Increased Tunnels performance due to refactored IPv8 serializer
• Completely removed VLC and its dependencies
• Many smaller bug fixes and performance improvements

ATTENTION:

1. This release features an upgrade of the Channels database. The migration can take quite some time. To greatly speed up the upgrade process, close all other programs before running 7.6.0 for the first time.
2. We disabled the token balance indicator for this release, as the new accounting system is not stable enough for production use yet. We will re-enable it in later releases.
3. This release fixes the insta-crash bug affecting Tribler 7.5.4. Every user of 7.5.4 is advised to upgrade to 7.6.0 immediately.
