GitHub Desktop Plus v3.5.2

Upstream: GitHub Desktop 3.5.2 release notes

Warning

The APT and RPM packages have been renamed from github-desktop to github-desktop-plus and are now signed using GPG. If you are using one of those packages, you need to uninstall it and install github-desktop-plus. Follow the install instructions for your distribution in the README.

Changes and improvements:

• In case of an application crash, the link to open an issue now points to the correct GitHub repository (this one).
• Debian / Ubuntu / Fedora / RHEL / CentOS: This fork can now be installed alongside the official GitHub Desktop app without conflicting (see APT/RPM warning above).
• Arch / Manjaro: You can now build the app from source with the github-desktop-plus and github-desktop-plus-git packages. Those new packages (and the existing github-desktop-plus-bin package) can be installed alongside the upstream the official GitHub Desktop app without conflicting.
  Additionally, you can now pass CLI arguments to the app by putting them in ~/.config/github-desktop-plus-flags.conf

Fixes:

• Fix incorrect icon on Wayland (#11). Thanks @Bryan2333!
• Fixed crash when typing on the email field in the initial setup screen.
• Fedora / RHEL / CentOS: The built-in git binaries are now patched to use libcurl instead of libcurl-gnutls. Thanks @thangckt!

New versioning scheme

From this version onward, the version of GitHub Desktop Plus will match the upstream. This should make it easier to know which GitHub Desktop version you are getting with each release.

New DEB and RPM repositories

If you are using the .deb (Debian/Ubuntu) or .rpm (Fedora/RHEL/CentOS) packages, you will no longer need to download new releases manually. Instead, you can add the new repositories to your system and use your package manager to update GitHub Desktop Plus automatically.

Follow the instructions in the README to add the new repository for your distribution.

Changes and improvements:
