Whatly 6.2.0
Desktop-integration features and finer control, from a sweep of the upstream issue tracker.

- Reload automatically after a crash — optional, no prompt (keshavbhatt#225).

- HiDPI/4K:
QT_SCALE_FACTORnow scales the web content too;WHATLY_MAX_FPSlifts the frame-rate cap (keshavbhatt#203, keshavbhatt#221). - Small screens: window and dialog minimums adapt to the display, so Whatly fits on a Linux phone (keshavbhatt#239).
- Build:
-DWHATLY_DICTIONARIES="en-US;es-ES;…"builds only the chosen spell-check dictionaries (keshavbhatt#61). - Windows: optional code signing via the SignPath Foundation OSS programme (keshavbhatt#325).
