V5.0.0

After nearly half a year of work in my spare time on a separate branch, I am pleased to release a new version. The changes are extensive, which is why I am bumping the major version number to 5.

The headline feature is the Ensemble List — a database that stores individual properties of ensemble data and derived content. This is the foundational construct, with more ideas for what can be stored there in the future.

What's Changed

• New Ensemble List window providing an overview of ensemble parameters and derived content. Works with both SDR devices and files. See the README.md.
• Updated to the current Qt v6.11.1.
• VOLK integration: SampleReader and other components now also use the VOLK library for accelerated signal processing.
• Improved sync reliability: Time sync logic and buffer handling have been refactored, along with sync state management.
• Optimized OFDM decoder: Performance improvements and increased stability when handling unusual signals.
• RMS support added: Digital level handling refactored to display both RMS and peak levels.
• Removed SDRplay v2 handler and its API integration. The SDRplay v3 driver supports SDRplay v2 devices as well.
• Bug fixes and updates to the SDRplay v3 handler.
• DC and IQ correction are now independently switchable (UI updated accordingly).
• Peak level meter timing accuracy can be calibrated (see Configuration).
• Improved handling of database initialization and scan mode.
• Improved handling of invalid file/device logic.
• ITU table enhanced and access methods refactored.
• Many code quality and modernization improvements.
• UI layout updates and window size initialization fixes for fresh startups.
• Reworked the README.md.
