Hey guys, we are back! And we bring you 0.5.0.0

After quite some time where we could not deliver updates for qb we finally made it. We were at a point, where it felt necessary to rather invest time into our codebase than developing more new content. The rework turned out to create one new problem after another, which meant two years of continuous development to get to a stable state. It is clear to us that this time was painful and not acceptable. But we did not want to deliver an unfinished state where you would rather see setbacks instead of progress. We were not idling - we even increased our team by one more codemonkey since the middle of 2021 :). Most of our freetime was used to get qb to the point where it is now. Over 500 tickets have been finished and many more tickets are on our list for the next update 0.5.1.0.

As follows a brief summary of whats included:
