v5.5.0

New in v5.5:

• private notes - with encrypted files and media.
• paste link to connect - search bar now accepts invitation links.
• optional recent history in groups.
• improved message delivery - with reduced battery usage.
• reveal secrets in messages by tapping them.
• all files in local app storage are encrypted by default.
• allow deleting the last visible user profile.
• do not share contact address in member profile.
• many fixes!

Also, we added Hungarian (Android only) and Turkish interface - thanks to the users and Weblate (https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/tree/stable#help-translating-simplex-chat).
