What's new in this version:

- For all HTTP requests (e.g. file downloads, update checks, websocket connection, …) both Gajim and python-nbxmpp rely on libsoup. With Gajim 1.6.0, we ported to libsoup3. You shouldn’t notice any changes, but this fixes some compatibility issues we faced recently.
- Gajim’s audio preview looks a lot nicer now! @mesonium added a wave graph visualization, which allows you the navigate audio files easier, especially voice messages. You can now jump within audio files, and (for all your wordy friends) you can select a playback speed.
- Most timestamps displayed in Gajim can now be customized using date_format, time_format or date_time_format in Gajim’s Advanced Configuration Editor (ACE).
- python-nbxmpp 4.0.0 has been released, and besides the port to libsoup3, it comes with support for XEP-0444: Message Reactions. Furthermore, support for XEP-0392: Consistent Color Generation has been updated to version 0.8.0.

More Changes:
- Gajim now depends on python 3.10
- File types for your profile image (avatar) are not limited to only JPG anymore
- A file is now highlighted in your file explorer, when opening the containing folder from Gajim

Fixed:
- Improved command detection
- Fixes for adding an account
- Improvements for URL handling
