Full Release Notes

A quick release meant to pin the libsignal pipeline to the NPM registry. The release also includes a small bug fix for old VPSes lacking SIMD support for the WASM.
We moved Baileys's dep from git to NPM:
1. This should remove the need to install git to install baileys.
2. This should increase code transparency & security as libsignal now goes under the same Trusted Publishing and Provenance as Baileys rc10.

We are working on migrating away from the libsignal dep as soon as possible to our own Rust-based equivalent to prevent licensing issues. Note that libsignal is in GPLv3 but Baileys is under MIT (Adhiraj left us a mess 😓).
