The Bibites 0.5.1 public release! 🥳🥳🥳 (Patreon)

Hey everyone! A very sizable update that will bring a lot of joy to a lot of people. I managed to fix a lot of bugs that had a significant impact on performances. The resulting increase in performances is going to be very noticeable! I also worked a lot on the UI and some usability features. With this done, I'm going to be fully free to focus on 0.6.0 starting now!
