v6.0.0-beta5

What's Changed

The changes in this release has mainly been about refactoring and build changes that won't affect normal use, but that are great for working with the app.

This release was initially named v6.0.0-b5 to comply with python versioning standards, but this didn't work for Launchpad (the Debian PPA service), so the name was changed back to the old format. We also rebuilt the .deb package attached to this release
