NoteCase Pro v4.8.0 desktop edition released

Minor release again, mostly released to fix the "Check for updates" feature errors due to changing the web hosting provider. Additionally, as announced a long time ago, audio (gstreamer) support was removed.

Additional fixes:
- major: as announced a while ago, support for audio operations (recording, playing) has been removed, this code had issues due to uneven Gstreamer support over platforms (v 0.1 vs 1.0; lack of quality recording codecs on Windows, huge distribution size with Gstreamer bundled on Windows/Mac
- fix: "Check for Update" stopped working in June after changing hosting provider (https protocol is now required instead of http)
- fix: Lua method Nc_GUI_SelectionDlgTbl returns wrong data in multi-selection mode
- add: replace all the references to old address virtual-sky.com (not used anymore) to notecasepro.com
- add: Lua API Nc_Doc_SendViaEmail now accepts -1 value for parameter nSelection (meaning nothing to export, i.e. mail with no attachment)
- add: "No title decoration" option when exporting to .txt format (avoids prefixing title with "*" character)

As previously deprecated, Ubuntu 23.10, Fedora 37, Mageia 8 were removed now.

NoteCase Pro v4.7.9 desktop edition released

 This is a small release, featuring two new builds to address Fedora 40 and Ubuntu 24.04 releases.

Additional fixes:
- fix: selecting "Calibri" font in Style Manager actually applied as "Calibri Light" (similarly, "Arial" mapped to "Arial Condensed")
- fix: search function did not cycle through notes in correct order when starting the same search the 2nd time

As previously deprecated, Ubuntu 23.04 and FreeBSD v12.1 builds were removed now.

The following builds are now deprecated (having End-of-life being reached or coming soon) and will be removed in the next build: Ubuntu 23.10, Fedora 37, Mageia 8, Suse leap 15.4 (will be upgraded to 15.6), RHEL8.

Additionally, I plan to upgrade Bodhi (from 32-bit to 64-bit), Solus, OpenIndiana (Solaris) and OpenBSD (if the build issues with OpenSSL are resolved).

Let me know if you need some of the deprecated builds.
