v0.5.2.1 -> v0.5.3.0

Responding to community feedback on pacenotes, we’re enhancing the Co-Pilot reaction system across all four locations. Drivers now have the choice between two pacenote modes – Emotional, Standard and option to turn them off completely. Emotional mode resembles the current setup, with added Co-Pilot comments and reactions based on your driving. Standard mode is a simpler option, providing only the essential pacenotes without any additional shouting or roasting.

"Choose your way!"
