Hi y'all!

   Qsynth 1.0.4 (mid-winter'26) released!

Qsynth is a FluidSynth [2] GUI front-end application written in C++ 
around the Qt framework [3] using Qt Designer.

Change-log:
- Make sure initial empty preset channel-map always gets Channel 10 to 
Bank 128 and Program 0 on default (GM Drums/Percussion).
- Get rid of CONFIG_WAYLAND build config option; add underlying platform 
name (eg. xcb, wayland) to Qt version string.
