V2023.7.0

A much more alive than dead Cavalier 🕺🏻

It's been half a year since the previous stable release of Cavalier. The project was basically abandoned, but during that time I learned a lot and found awesome community and team to revive this awesome app. Cavalier joins Nickvision family! Completely rewritten in C#, with another drawing backend, better performance and solid ground to extend the app in future!

Thanks @nlogozzo for spending time and helping me a lot to make this release happen.
Thanks @daudix-UFO for wonderful new icon.
Thanks @gregorni for working on old Cavalier and giving valuable feedback on the new one.
