  ⚠️ THIS UPDATE DOESN'T INCLUDE ANYTHING NEW, IT JUST CHANGES THE APP'S NAME!! Hey everyone, today I'm excited to announce that CuteMusic becomes Chocola!!! To mark this new start, the version bumps up to 4.0.0 To learn more about that decision, you can read my blog here: https://medium.com/p/1a1f37640370 ⚠️ The package name will remain `com.sosauce.cutemusic` so you should be able to update normally, without having to re-install the app. I've also open a pull request on F-droid to reflect the change, I don't know when it will be taken into effect ⚠️ `https://github.com/sosauce/CuteMusic` will redirect to `https://github.com/sosauce/Chocola` automatically, so nothing should be lost

  🙃 Do not open an issue to scream that you hate that change/name, it is my decision and it was thought of for some time now, I'm still staying in a cute aesthetic, but with a better branding!! (Can you guess what my new names are based on without reading the article ?) ❤️ Thanks to everyone who will accept this change
