Hi, is this fix released? which version includes the fix?

🤖 fixed by #5600, which ships in the next desktop release. on Windows the notification plugin reported permission as
deniedat startup without asking the backend, so Buzz refused to turn Desktop alerts on and also saved the setting as off on every launch. #5600 repairs that reading, so the toggle turns on and stays on across restarts. if yours was already forced off, turn Desktop alerts on once after updating. thanks for the report
