Hi again!

   QmidiCtl 1.0.3 (mid-spring'26) is out!

QmidiCt [1] is a MIDI remote controller application that sends MIDI data 
over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast [6] 
and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI for Windows [7]. QmidiCtl [1] 
was long ago designed for the Maemo [8] enabled handheld devices, namely 
the late Nokia N900 [9] and promoted to the Maemo Package [10] 
repositories. Nevertheless, QmidiCtl [1] may still be found effective as 
a regular desktop application and recently as an Android application as 
well.

Change-log:
- Get rid of CONFIG_WAYLAND build config option; add underlying platform 
name (eg. xcb, wayland) to Qt version string.
- Bumping into next development cycle (Qt >= 6.11)
