Crow Translate 4.0.2 released

[pillowtrucker at proton.me]

To clarify: By "cdn" I meant the https://download.kde.org/stable/crow-translate/ endpoint and not cdn.kde.org
It has also come to my attention I've left the checksums out of the announcement.

> The inspiration for the architectural changes was the fact that most Mozhi instances seem to immediately get banned from the cloud TTS, effectively disabling the feature. We recommend using the Piper TTS backend for best reliability and quality. The neural network models can be found at https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices - the application will also display this url and instructions for setup on first activation of the backend, if no models are present.
> CAVEAT: The Qt TTS backend is known to be broken on Windows in Qt versions 6.9.1-6.9.2, the Windows release artifacts on our CDN are built against and shipped with Qt 6.8.3 libraries.
