New release is out: 1.8.0

Its a big change underneath, but only one bugfix visible for users. This release splits the code into platform-dependent (Sailfish Silica) and platform-independent part (regular QML). Code is reorganized, partly rewritten to allow such support, and support for regular Qt Quick Controls 2 is added. This should pave a way to add support for other platforms (Nemo, Plasma, UBTouch, L5), hopefully attract more developers to our code. In addition, some bugs may show up faster - right now I fixed a bug in page stack wrapper that was not triggering anything in Silica.

As a result of these changes, you can run Pure Maps as a desktop application. Right now, its done via flatpak package that is available at https://github.com/rinigus/pure-maps/releases (for 1.8.0, its https://github.com/rinigus/pure-maps...e-maps.flatpak). I'll look into addition to Flathub a bit later, after GUI for specification of API keys will be ready.

Some bugs are expected, I think. Let me know if you hit any - will try to follow up with the bugfixes ASAP.

@pichlo - should we look into your redesign of the navigation UI? You could do it using desktop as well now . Sounds like nobody objected this change, or am I wrong? At least there is no feedback on this channel.
