Simple GOG client for Linux, Minigalaxy version 1.4 released

Minigalaxy is a simple and to the point GOG game downloader for Linux, with a brand new release in version 1.4 now available. It might not have all the bells and whistles that the likes of Heroic and Lutris have, but it's still a nice option if GOG is your main store of choice.

A lot of this update is general improvements to how the apps works, especially with downloads and installs so a lot more should work as expected.

The full changelog:

• Various improvements to the download manager, including a pause function.
• Speed up creation of wine prefixes during installations.
• Use regedit to more permanently disable useless shortcut creation by wine from within a prefix.

• The download UI also shows a rough size estimate if possible.
