What is new in ftop 0.2.5

![The panel at six sizes](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nongfsq/ftop/v0.2.5/docs/media/sizes.png)

- **The GPU has a column of its own.** It stands beside the core columns and is read the same way: the fill is usage, the line across it is the current frequency. Its badge and figure sit above it, as the processor's sit above the cores. Suggested in #8.
- **At every size.** Compact, full, and detailed layouts show the wide column; the corner layout puts the GPU's block on the right; the rich strip and the vertical strip carry a small column. The plain strip and the smallest layout are unchanged.
- **The temperature moved down a row.** Nothing stands above the columns now except the figure they belong to.

This closes #8: three kinds of core in three groups (0.2.2), core frequencies on the M6 (0.2.3), GPU frequency on the M6 (0.2.4), and the GPU's column.

**Install:** 0.1.1 and later update themselves. Otherwise download `Ftop-0.2.5-arm64.zip`, unpack, move `Ftop.app` to `~/Applications`, then follow the two commands in the [README](https://github.com/Nongfsq/ftop#install). Requires Apple Silicon and macOS 15 or later. The app is ad-hoc signed and not notarized.
