welle.io 2.6

Just before Christmas, I'm happy to release welle.io 2.6.
Beside small improvements, the biggest change is that the Windows version is now signed (Thanks to SignPath.io). This means you can install welle.io without a security warning. The Linux version is also back, but we needed to switch from AppImage to Flatpak because of unsolved Qt6 AppImage issues.
