An update to version 5.0.1 is highly recommended for everyone using 5.0.0.

- Fix a deadlock in the background parser, which especially occured on projects containing both C++ and Python/JS/QML code and caused either parsing or the whole application to freeze randomly. [BR: 355100]
- Do not display the "project is already open in a different session" dialog on starting up a session under some circumstances.
- Fix a crash which sometimes happened when switching git branches on command line.

Issues fixed in the Linux AppImage

- Disable the welcome page for now.
