Changes from GRAL V22.09 to V23.11

Release Notes (v23.11)

The application has been transformed to .NET8
- With .NET8, the current performance improvements and bug fixes are adopted
  A MONO version of the GUI is also available for Linux users
The GRAL release is no longer published as all-in-one file by default
- This means that user must install .NET8 Runtime (Windows OS requires the .NET8 Desktop Runtime) and therefore benefits in several ways
  ▪ Smaller published files
  ▪ Fewer false warnings from anti-virus programs
  ▪ Better performance
  ▪ Individual setting options from Runtime for the respective computer in the *.runtimecon-fig.json file
  ▪ Same compilation for Windows, Linux and MacOS

For windows users, a published version as a single-fill is still available in a separate download
