update cover

This week in FreeCAD development:

  • @yorik merged the Help Module into main so that an external mod is no longer required to view the new Help system.

  • @kadet1090 modified the preference pack code to find the new Overlay stylesheets, and MisterMakerNL made some Overlay changes to the included stylesheets and preference packs

  • @Paddle has the new Assembly workbench to a point where it can actually solve some types of assemblies using the new solver. The next step is to add that solver as a submodule to the main FreeCAD repo.

  • I (@chennes) split off some work to get Qt6 working on Windows under MSVC into its own PR, enabling compilation with the /fpermissive- flag.
