V1.25.0

Focus of this release is the continuous harmonization with the GEF project. This time specifically the migration to the official Tool classes.

Additional changes are the deprecation of the editorReuseThreshold property in the IPageLayout interface, after being removed from the platform with 968d4cefd41e3cbf6eb3f70bc85aacdd283cf066 and the adaption of the GTK-backend to now also support Wayland on GTK3.

See the changelog for more details.
