Version 1.1-A 4.4

This update focuses on enhancing the user experience for set up and portable issue, fixing bugs, improving compatibility, and simplifying the setup process.

Added:

• New application icon Synthalingua GUI now has a distinctive icon.
• Automatic dependency setup: A new script, set_up_env.py, automates the download and extraction of FFmpeg and yt-dlp, simplifying the initial setup process. This also has a windows exe file in the portable version.

Changed:

• Minimum Supported Windows Version: The portable version of the GUI now requires Windows 10 (build 10.0.17763 or later) due to a change in .NET framework requirements. Windows 7 is no longer supported for the portable GUI.
• Code of Conduct: The project's Code of Conduct has been updated to be more comprehensive and inclusive, promoting a welcoming and respectful community.
• Updated setup.bat Script: Improved the setup.bat script to handle Python installations not found in the system's PATH and to provide clearer instructions to users.

Fixed:

• Batch Script for FFmpeg Path: The batch script responsible for setting the FFmpeg path has been rewritten for clarity and efficiency.
• Fixed setup.bat error, is it over for me? #119
• Fixed ffmpeg is being redownloaded every time #121

Removed:

• Manual FFmpeg/yt-dlp Setup: Users no longer need to manually download and extract FFmpeg, 7zr, or yt-dlp. The new set_up_env.py script handles this automatically.
• Outdated PyTorch CUDA Packages: The setup script no longer installs CUDA-specific PyTorch packages, preventing potential compatibility issues.

We are committed to improving Synthalingua and welcome feedback and contributions from the community.
