Note: this is a release candidate that contains all the features that will be in the final version. It still needs work on non-english translations, and some repo house-keeping. The final release should land in a couple days.
A huge thank you goes out to @amovfx for implementing most of the features for minting, sending, and receiving of assets in this release.

While Polar has kept up with the new node implementation releases via the out-of-band updates, it hasn't had any new features added in a long while. This release packages up all those node updates so that you don't need to manually update after the initial install. We now also have automatic updates. You can opt-in to checking for new node versions on startup, instead of having to do it manually. Links to check for updates have also been added to the start screen and footer to make it easier to get to.
There are a bunch of first-time contributors in this release. They've added some great updates which you can see listed below. Thank you all for your PRs.
This release is required to run Core Lightning v0.12.0 due to an API that Polar requires being deprecated.
