V2023.7.0-rc1

A much more alive than dead Cavalier 🕺🏻

It's been half a year since the previous stable release of Cavalier. The project was basically abandoned, but during that time I learned a lot and found awesome community and team to revive this awesome app. Cavalier joins Nickvision family! Completely rewritten in C#, with another drawing backend, better performance and solid ground to extend the app in future!

Thanks @nlogozzo for spending time and helping me a lot to make this release happen.
Thanks @daudix-UFO for wonderful new icon.

Notable new features 📃

• New drawing mode — Spine
• Ability to select drawing direction
• Mirror option
• No limit on quantity of colors for gradients

Changes compared to previous beta

• Fixed an issue where CAVA was still running after Cavalier quits
• Added Reverse Mirror option (only available when Mirror is set to Split Channels)
• Various minor fixes
