Bauh

Improvements
- AppImage
- creating a symlink for the installed applications at **~.local/bin** (the link will have the same name of the application. if the link already exists, it will be named as 'app_name-appimage') [122](https://github.com/vinifmor/bauh/issues/122)
- new initialization task that checks if the installed AppImage files have symlinks associated with (it creates new symlinks if needed)

</p>
- able to update AppImages with continuous releases
- UI
- not performing a full table refresh after installing and uninstalling packages
- filters algorithm speed and sorting
- "ignore updates" action now takes less time to update the table content
- displaying the "wait cursor" over some components while performing some actions
- sorting installed packages by their names [124](https://github.com/vinifmor/bauh/issues/124)
- some components compatibility with the system's color scheme
- allowing "Oxygen" as a default style
- big refactoring regarding the components states (now it is easier to maintain the code)
- Settings
- new property **ui.scale_factor** responsible for defining the interface scale factor. Useful if bauh looks
small on the screen. It can be changed through the settings window (**Interface** tab):

Improvements
- Arch
- faster caching data process during initialization
- i18n
- AppImage
- Categories are now translated on the Info window

- UI
- only centralizing the apps table after the initialization process
- defining a minimum width and height based on the screen size
- info window now has a height limit, a lower bar with Back and Close buttons, and is scrollable
- minor changes
- Downloads

Fixes
- Flatpak
- not displaying application updates on the search results
- Arch
- crashing while reading the installed packages when the internet is unstable

- initialization dialog hangs when there is no task to wait for [112](https://github.com/vinifmor/bauh/issues/112)
- not caching data of installed packages with no signatures and unknown repositories

Features
- new **restore** action to restore all bauh settings and cache through the 'custom actions' button (**+**). It is equivalent to the command `bauh --reset`.

Improvements
- some custom actions not related to installed packages state will not refresh the table after succeeded

Fixes
- Arch
- "clean cache" operation was not working in some scenarios
- upgrading progress when conflicting files are detected
- not detecting some installed "not-signed" repository packages
- not properly caching data of installed dependencies
- UI
- some fields in the table are overlapped by others when maximized [107](https://github.com/vinifmor/bauh/issues/107)

- upgrade: crashing when there are packages to be displayed on the summary window that cannot upgrade
- settings: crashing when an empty Qt style is detected or defined [104](https://github.com/vinifmor/bauh/issues/104)


Recommendations
- Arch-based distro users: clean the bauh's Arch cache after upgrading to this release so it will remap all installed packages during the next initialization. 3 possible ways to do it:

- type on the command line: `rm -rf ~/.cache/bauh/arch/installed` (it will reset only the Arch cache)
- type on the command line: `bauh --reset` (it will reset all caches and settings)
- click on the new **Restore** custom action on the UI (it will reset all caches and settings)

Features
- UI
- it is possible to view details of some initialization tasks by clicking on their icons
