v4.1.0

What's changed

The most important new features in this version include:

• Display popover previews of links in articles by hovering over, long-pressing or tabbing into a link (Wikimedia / Wikipedia ZIMs only);
• The last opened ZIM will now automatically re-open when you launch the app in the latest Chromium browsers (if you grant persistent permissions when requested);
• The Security prompt on opening a dynamic ZIM for the first time now shows the ZIM metadata, to help you decide if it is trusted;
• The former "JQuery mode" is now renamed to "Restricted mode", as it better represents what this mode does.

There are many more updates and bugfixes. For a user-friendly changelog, see CHANGELOG, or look at the detailed log of PRs below.
