What's new in Dockev.

This release brings better Windows support — Dockev now works with Docker across multiple WSL distros, and Compose actions no longer break on Windows. The Compose tab also gets a visual refresh, plus a new Connectivity section to show how Dockev talks to your engine, a faster Volume tab, and a handful of smaller tweaks.
