Description

### What type of update are you requesting?

A new version of an existing package

### Current Package Identifier

Meld.Meld

### Package Version

3.23.1

### Please describe the changes you would like to see

Meld seems to have changed the location of new Windows installers, and the main homepage does not directly list the latest release.

The release list (linked from https://meldmerge.org/ and https://meld.app/ ):
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/-/releases

It lists [3.23.1](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/-/releases/3.23.1) as the latest release (at the time of writing).

But to find the Windows installer you need to go to the Windows build job artifacts here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/-/jobs/5957426/artifacts/browse

You can see that it's the correct version by the tag (and that it's the same commit hash as the release listed).
