Major

• New database integration: First supported release with the ability to overlay data on BiGG and BioModels network models and enable reaction pattern searching across a wider array of organisms. Note: Network models from these sources can be less uniform as Reactome sources, so users should exercise some caution when using these capabilities and perform some sanity checks (see issue #73).
• kNN visualization improved to allow for more stable NN building without error (see commit 2395cd6).
• Neighbors dictionary backend curation is simplified and sped up (see commit 355abd4).
• Improved security policies. Specifically, external websites are opened in an isolated browser window and explicitly are context isolated and unable to access node integration. Enabled GitHub and Reactome URLs (connect-src) are more specific (see commit 96b1c9f).

Minor

• Progress bar during network build now update with more incremental steps for longer processes (see issue #77).
• New variables for more unified backend processing. Metaboverse v0.6.0 and later will not be compatible with files curated using Metaboverse v0.5.0b or earlier.
