Status Desktop - alpha.6

Please note that this version is an alpha meant for testing purposes by core contributors and the community. It's not meant for real use and makes no claims of security or integrity of funds or data in these builds.

We plan to release every 1-2 weeks. Please report issues/bugs in the #desktop channel or at https://github.com/status-im/nim-status-client/issues

macOS users: on first run, you need to right click -> open (due to new Apple requirements for notarization); if in the applications folder, then you need to manually open the folder, right click -> open

Update Instructions (IMPORTANT for users updating for alpha.5 or older)
