Nimi Places 20250205 released

19 days since the last release, newest Nimi Places build 20250205 brings multiple fixes (including fixing distribution package crash) and some noticeable improvements.

Today we release the lat­est build of Nimi Places 20250205.

Most important­ly build fixes dis­tribu­tion package crash during package pre­para­tion, due to invalid manu­ally hard-cod­ed package size (package could still be manu­ally unpacked). We apologize ​for inconvenience it may have caused.

Noticeably build improv­es colors handling. Now colors deriv­ed from accent color are ensur­ed to have con­trast against background.

Last­ly build brings some enhancements, including but not limit­ed to con­text menu labels rendering.
