v1.8.0

Important changes of this release

GUI migrated to PyQt6 #1222

• We've migrated the GUI to PyQt6 because PyQt5 has been deprecated, and many distros have started to remove it.
  ⚠️ This means that starting with v1.8.0, the GUI is no longer compatible by default with the following distros:
  • LinuxMint 21.2 or earlier.
  • Ubuntu 22.04 or earlier.
  • OpenSuse 15.5 or earlier (it works on 15.6, but you'll have to install some packages manually).
    The GUI still works if you install the packages manually with pip, and there will be a flatpak version soon.
    On the other hand, the daemon v1.8.0 should work fine with GUI v1.7.2.

Firewall rules grouped into one table, by @alice945 #1423

• Now all our firewall rules (netfilter rules) are grouped under one table called opensnitch.
  Previously we added several tables like mangle, output, input, prerouting, etc.
• If you have added system firewall rules, or if you have changed the firewall policies, apt will prompt you to update it.
  For rpm based distros you'll have to update it manually if needed.
