Latest version Menu Bar Controller for Sonos: 5.2.4

This version fixes ongoing connection issues with the Sonos speakers. The implemented changes should also speed up the overall experience.

In detail, we found that the app started to hit rate limiting imposed by Sonos, so we have reduced the amount of request it sends. As a result more requests are handled locally and sent directly to Sonos speakers, which makes the app also faster.
