This is a major release with the following changes:

• File Metadata support (NIP-92 / NIP-94)
  • imeta data in incoming events is utilized, including testing the hash,
    and displaying a placeholder blurhash (until the event loads)
  • Attached files get imeta attachments when posting including url,
    metadata (m), hash (x), size, dim, and blurhash
  • Failed media loading now shows why
• Blossom support (BUD-01, BUD-02)
  • Can attach local images and/or videos to your notes, which get uploaded
    to your blossom server.
  • Synchronizes with your nostr-saved blossom configuration, and you can
    edit that
• NIP-89 Support - Recommended Application Handlers
  • Gossip collects recommendations published by your contacts
  • These become menu options for opening events
  • You can disable any of them you don't want
  • You can recommend these to your friends
  • You can import a new handler (published by an application developer)
  • Support is only for 'web' handlers
• Search on relays (NIP-50)
  • You must choose your search relays first.
• Followers and Followed
  • On the Person page, you can view who someone follows, and who follows
    them (including for yourself)
  • Computing who follows them is expensive and inaccurate

• Cancelling a draft asks if you are sure, so misclicks don't erase your
