Download LOOT 0.28.0

Version 0.27.x was skipped to keep LOOT's minor version equal to libloot's.
Added
- Support for hiding individual general and plugin messages using context menu and application menu actions. Hidden messages can be unhidden globally or per card.
- A "Show only new messages" filter that hides all messages that existed the last time LOOT ran for the current game, before its content was last refreshed, or before its masterlist was last updated while it was the current game.
- Support for paths longer than 260 characters on Windows. This requires Windows 10 v1607 or later and a Registry value to be set to enable long paths in Windows, though LOOT may work with long paths on Windows 11 without setting the Registry value. See Microsoft's documentation_ for details. The 260-character limit is specific to Windows, so Linux builds were unaffected.
- Support for plugin and archive symlinks when the game is Oblivion Remastered or OpenMW on Windows, and for all games on Linux.
- Support for the DLC install paths used by the Microsoft Store's distribution of Starfield (via libloot).

Fixed

- Building with Qt 6.4, which is the version of Qt provided by Debian 12 and Ubuntu 24.04.

- Message filters are now also applied to general messages, not just plugin messages.
- Metadata parsing error messages now distinguish between prelude/masterlist errors and user metadata errors.
