Release 1.5.0 discussion/feedback

[Gitznik]

Notable changes

We changed the default installation locations on MacOS and Windows. For more details on why this was necessary, see this discussion.

Specifically on MacOS, you may now get warning, telling you a space was found in your Home path.

To solve this you can

1. Move your pipx home to a location without spaces (see our troubleshooting docs) - We would heavily recommend doing this
2. If you're really sure you want to stick to your old path, you can run the pipx commands with the -q flag. This will silence all warnings.
