Release v5.0.3

[sivaraam]

The v5.0.1 has been pushed out to beta. Let us use the following milestone to track the issues for which it would be nice to have fixes for:

https://github.com/commons-app/apps-android-commons/milestone/11

The issues kept in the milestone so far are:

• [Bug]: Category related functionality such as explore search, viewing parent and sub categories of a category don't work #5758
• [Bug]: Media details is blanked when editing caption alone #5218
• [Bug]: Commons app not showing pictures uploaded via web #5689
• Nearby: Pins overlapping place name  #5692

Try to converge the following open PR:

• Rename "View user page" menu as "View user profile" #5771
• Stop filtering out all categories that have a year in it  #4902
• Update allowed recent years to include 2020s #5761

We could use this issue to discuss further regarding this release 🙂

PS: For the note, I've also created a milestone for v5.1.0 and tagged an issue which would be nice to have in the same.

Following @mnalis' suggestion, I just pushed out v5.0.2 with the changes accumulated so far. So, renaming this issue as v5.0.3 for now.

I suppose one major issue that has been reported a bit repeatedly is #5758. So, if we get around finding a fix for it, I suppose we could do a bigfix release.

Fantastic, great to see such a healthy release pace. :-)

@sivaraam With GSoC merged and working better than ever, plus Nearby greatly improved, how about releasing a beta? :-)

@sivaraam I pushed the SDK upgrade deadline to Nov 1, 2024, so we can release without waiting for #5770 if it is before that date. It would be great to do a stable release within that window as there is a possibility that SDK upgrade will take time. Thanks! :-)

That's nice. I'll look into doing a release soon.
