Starting work on version 1.0 of the UntitledImGuiFramework

In June, July and August we'll start work on the 1.0 release of the UntitledImGuiFramework. This release will include the following:

1. Stable API and ABI
2. Stable CMakeLists.txt generation
3. Plugin support
4. UntitledFontUtils 1.0
5. UntitledDBusUtils 1.0
6. Vulkan renderer

UntitledOpen 1.0

The UntitledOpen library can now open URIs on Linux using XDG Desktop Portals.

UntitledDBusUtils 0.5

Version 0.5 of the UntitledDBusUtils library finally provides a type- and mermory-safe interface for appending complex data structures to DBus messages.

Previously, one could only append basic datatypes, arrays of basic datatypes and dictionaries of basic datatypes through a type- and memory-safe interface. Now, one can push everything from a basic type, to a type like this: a(iiia{sv}) where the variant type can have a type signature like (iba{sv}i).

Starting work on UntitledDBusUtils 1.0

Of course, we want to fully finish UntitledDBusUtils, so we're starting work on a type- and memory-safe wrapper on top of the deserialisation interface, provided by the dbus-1 low level C interface.

UntitledDesktopOverlay

Following the improvements in UntitledImGuiFramework 0.8.7.9, all MadLadSquad applications and libraries can be found as Funtoo & Gentoo packages under the UntitledDesktopOverlay. Funtoo users have access to YAML and python autogens for all the packages in the overlay.

Other package managers will get support soon.

Multiple issues relating to the multilingual tracker issue have been fixed. These include:

1. Creation of IME backend profiles
2. Fixing m17n-lib
3. Moving ibus to i18n-kit

Work on the Youyin character editor continues. It includes the ability to zoom in and pan the character, reset view hotkeys and more.

1. Removed unnecessary code
