It is usable by both Gnome Software, KDE Discover and web frontends,
such as Flathub which now enforces OARS.
By using OARS 1.0 all distributions should be supported. Version 1.1
should work almost everywhere, but there are a few notable distributions
that still lack GNOME Software >= 3.27.3.
In this case it should not matter, because the OARS data is the same for
both versions (nothing 1.1 specific is used).

Definitions:
* Database Key - Cryptographic hash used to perform encrypt/decrypt of the database.
* Database Credentials - User facing term to refer to the collection of Password, Key File, and/or Hardware Key used to derive the Database Key.
Changes:
* Remove the term "master" and "key" from the user's lexicon and clarify the code base based on the definitions above.
* Clean up wording in the UI to be clearer to the end user.
* Fix#4768
* MainWindow::updateTrayIcon() is called in MainWindow::applySettingsChanges() earlier in construction. Calling this function twice in a row causes issues with startup times on Linux.
* Added to the new view menu, show entry/group icons at 16px and reduce toolbar icons to 22px.
* Fix search widget being too large vertically (removed padding)
* Prevent double free due to QObject cleanup happening before/after the ExtraPage storing the QSharedPointer to FdoSecretsPlugin is deleted.
* Fixes#4877
Add a small delay between key polling to let the hardware interface settle. Prevents invalid serial numbers from being pulled messing up the KeePassXC workflow.
* Saving a database in unsafe mode retains the existing permissions on the kdbx file
* New databases (save as, save backup, new database) and new key files are saved with 0600 permissions (user read/write), fixes#2575
* Only clear password field when switching tabs or minimizing. This prevents the setting "Remember Key Files and Hardware Keys" from being useless with multiple databases.
* Convert key file field to Line Edit, simplifies usage. Fix clear field button as well.
* Removed need for clearForms to check if the database is being opened (was a solution to tab switching while unlocking, no longer a problem).
* Check every hour to see if another update check should be performed. Nothing actually happens unless 7 days has elapsed since the last update check.
* Fixes#3706
* Add support for 'ifDevice' feature, closes#2871
* Resolve placeholders for username and password to support references, fixes#2078
* Add support for open databases from an entry when the url starts with 'kdbx://'. Uses the same syntax as AutoOpen. Closes#1536.
* Move portable configuration files into a config subfolder from the executable. This prevents overwriting the stored config when the application is updated in-place.
* Use .portable file to signal a portable app
* Fix#4751
