ShortGPT Release v0.2.0

This release marks an overhaul and stabilization of ShortGPT after a period of inactivity. I've addressed core issues, upgraded key components, and made several quality-of-life improvements.

Major Changes:

• Stability Fixes: This release addresses numerous bugs that have accumulated, resulting in a much more stable and reliable experience.
• GPT Model Upgrade: Migrated from OpenAI's gpt-3.5 to gpt4-o-mini. This brings improved performance, more accurate content generation, and better overall results.
• MoviePy v2: Upgraded from MoviePy v1 to v2. This update brings performance enhancements and better compatibility with modern video formats.
• Font Change: Replaced the default font from Roboto to Luckiest Guy, to improve captions.
• Coqui TTS Removed: Removed support for Coqui TTS engine as it's barely maintained.
• OpenAI and Eleven Labs Key Names Changed: Changed the keys from OPENAI and ELEVEN LABS to OPENAI_API_KEY and ELEVENLABS_API_KEY respectively.

Other Notable Improvements:

• Code Cleanup: Performed general code cleanup and refactoring for better maintainability and readability.
• Improved Error Handling: More descriptive error messages to help users troubleshoot issues.
• Streamlined Dependencies: Optimized the project's dependencies for an easier installation process.

Detailed Changes:

• Updated gui/ui_tab_short_automation.py, gui/ui_tab_video_automation.py, and gui/ui_tab_video_translation.py to reflect the changes in TTS engines, language options, and API key names.
• Updated dependencies in requirements.txt and setup.py.
• Updated documentation to reflect the latest changes.

Upgrade Notes:

• Users upgrading from previous versions should update their API key configurations to use the new names: OPENAI_API_KEY and ELEVENLABS_API_KEY.
• Due to the removal of Coqui TTS, users relying on it will need to switch to either ElevenLabs or EdgeTTS.
• Users should be aware of the font change and its impact on the visual style of generated videos.
