Improvements:
The graphview is no longer renders content outside the visible area and uses less CPU drawing, which should improve performance greatly.

The graphview can now be zoomed. Zooming is possible via two-finger-gesture, CTRL+Scrolling, and a zoom widget in the header bar.

The graphview now has a fixed size, and the view is initially centered in middle.

Labels on nodes and ports now may use multiple lines when too long, and very long labels will be ellipsized.
A new tooltip is displayed when hovering a label, which displays the full name and is never ellipsized.

The label for a node now prefers displaying the `node.description` property over the `node.nick` property of a pipewire node,
which is usually more human-readable and helpful, and also matches the behaviour of other tools.

Helvum should build again with pipewire versions 0.3.64 and 0.3.65 due to an updated `pipewire` dependency.

This release fixes a segmentation fault introduced in the last release related to glib logging.

Fixes:
- Update glib dependency, which fixes a SIGSEGV when using glib as a log backend and the output is being captured by systemd.

This is a small release with only minor changes in preperation for a Flathub release.

Changes:
- An appstream metadata file was added and is installed to the metainfo directory
- `gtk4-update-icon-cache` instead of the gtk3 variant is used during post-install
- The application id was changed to `org.pipewire.Helvum`
- Bash build scripts were removed and their work is done directly via meson instead

In addition, the upstream URL has changed to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/helvum

0.3.2

Changes:
- Links where the endpoint is left of the start point and on the same height now have
  a slight vertical component in their curve so they don't appear as a single line
- Links now use a gray instead of black color for better constrast

Fixes:
- Build scripts now use bash instead of sh, as they were already using bash features before,
  which could lead to problems where sh is not a symlink to bash

Also, from now on, releases will have a source tarball with vendored cargo dependencies attached, so that releases can be built offline easier.

Helvum is now built via meson, which will install new icons and a new .desktop
file in addition to the binary.

The plain cargo build still works (for now), but will not install the additional resources.
In the future, a plain cargo build may become unsupported.

Changes:
- Add meson as new primary buildsystem.
- Add application icon and symbolic icon
- Add .desktop file
