This release has a lot of bug fixes, and hopefully some better Wayland support. There was an overhaul/refactor of some internal code so watch out for bugs in this release and please report any issues!

One common request was for the cancel hotkey, it is bound to esc by default. Thanks @jacksongoode. It's included in this release.

okay, so v0.6.0 is rad. @eduardolat made an amazing contribution to enable LLM post processing in the app. currently this is a super advanced feature and can be enabled via the debug menu (ctrl/cmd+shift+d). I'm very excited about the release of this version as it is a glimpse of the future of this app I believe. It will be an amazing day when everyone who runs the app can run an LLM locally and have it do generic post processing.

It's possible this release could have broken a few things so please open issues so we can fix them together!
