Repot 0.5.0 (beta)

Highlights

Every export now keeps a Repot file. Next to the restore script or manifests, the export folder includes repot.json with the items you chose. On the start screen, choose Open a Repot file… to review them again or export for another destination later, without the old machine.

• Config files are stored the way they were on the source machine, with detected secrets still masked. Exporting from the file gives the same result as exporting directly.
• Only the items that export contained are stored. Items that could not move to that destination are not included.

Also in this release: the update window keeps space between the release notes and the download progress, and update notes show plain text instead of Markdown.

Unsigned beta. Not code-signed or notarized yet; see the README for first launch on macOS and Windows.
