Hi!

This version gives several improvements and fixes for Heroic overall while we work on some other big features that are already in testing/review like the itch.io, humble bundle and Steam integration, besides a new "plugin" system that will make it easier for people to add new integrations like Emulators support and many more in the future.

Even though this is mostly a Hotfix, this bring some new nice features like the possibility of installing Proton-CachyOS, navigating the Epic and GOG store with the controller, new Discounts tabs for our new affiliates for Humble Bundle and Green Man Gaming and we also moved the Plausible Analytics to our own Self-Hosted intance to maintain 100% control of our data.
