v1.3.1 Bug fixes release

Patchbay bug fixes.

• CV ports were considered as regular Audio ports until a patchbay refresh
• Some connection were missing in the graph after a pipewire quantum (buffer size) change
• Sometimes the patch could crash if a JACK port disappears when listing JACK ports.

New dependencies:

• python3-qtpy
• python3-JACK-client

Features:

• Views: you can now use as much views as you want, switching them with Alt+Num
• Hide boxes: Boxes are now hide-able (a widget in the tool bar allows to set hidden boxes visible)
• Arrange: two scripts can be now arrange the graph, "follow the signal chain" or "two rows facing each other"
• Custom Names: Clients and ports are now re-nameable in the canvas, it can optionally set this name as JACK metadata and auto-export custom names to JACK pretty names.
• Undo/Redo: all box move, wrap/unwrap, hide/restore, arrange, change view events can be undone/redone
• Tool bar: tool bar is now responsive design, it can have many lines if too much widgets are shown

v1.0.0 Simply ready to use

It is the first version considered ready for use.
Because Patchance is not much more than HoustonPatchbay with a jack client, all changes comes from HoustonPatchbay.

Bug Fixes:

• Port is now CV if it is mentioned only in the port metadatas
• fix CV ports not really readable in "dark boards" theme
