Resources, Buttons, and Music!

This has been an amazing two weeks since the last release! With tons of effort put in, we are excited to release 0.3.0!

P.S. When releasing this build, @JakeRoggenbuck could not build because of his Java version, @Shuzhengz was writing an essay due that night, @adamhutchings could not compile because Maven broke, @Camerooooon had internet issues and the upload timed out, he switched to another OS, booted up, his hard drive failed, making an audible sound over voice chat, ssh key rejected but alas, nothing would stop the team of Java noobs trying to follow their dreams!
But back to the release notes...

Start of development

Some messages from the developers

I'm going to be honest with you, these patch notes were written after this version was released. This version marks the start of development for QME and includes the first ever public build of qme5. In 5 years we will look back on this release to see how far we've come... maybe. - @Camerooooon

I'm super excited for this release because it's been really fun throwing the QME project together. We've built a great team of dedicated developer and designers who are thrilled to be taking this project to next level. - @JakeRoggenbuck

This release was a wild ride. I tried to work in a system one way, then I ripped it out and tried again, then I ripped it all out by the roots again, and when the build was finally stable we released it. But I still remember writing the quick little snippets late at night and for the first ever time, seeing a blank window open titled “QME”. - @adamhutchings

Being made to think in new ways is a reward, but watching people like what I helped make is a better one. @S-Mackenzie1678

Cool! We did it. - @Shuzhengz

We are all really excited to share our project with the world! - QME Team
