1.7.0

v1.7 is a major rewrite to improve the security of our app. In particular, the UI and the native parts of the app now run isolated from each other and communicate only using a predefined IPC boundary.

Other highlights:

• View your photos on big screens and Chromecast devices by using the "Play album on TV" option in the album menu.

• Support Brazilian Portuguese 🇧🇷, German 🇩🇪 and Russian 🇷🇺. A big thank you to the community members who translate Ente into their own language.

• Provide a checkbox to select all photos in a day.

• Fix a case where the dedup screen would not refresh after removing items.
