v1.1 - CopyShot New Features and a UI/UX Overhaul

CopyShot is no longer in beta and ready to use as a daily driver OCR app.

1. Auto-Update via Sparkle

• Integrated the Sparkle framework (v2.9.0) for automatic background updates.
• Added "Check for Updates…" buttons and an "Auto Update" toggle in Settings > General to enable/disable automatic daily update checks.

2. New Settings Window

• Replaced the old single-scroll card-based UI with a tabbed settings interface, nice animations featuring and hover-activated info tooltips:
  • General: Launch at Login, Auto Update, Appearance
  • OCR & Capture: Hotkey, Recognition Level, Language Correction, Languages
  • Notifications: Play Sounds toggle, Text Preview Limit
  • About: App icon, version, quick-action buttons (Show in Finder, App Data Folder, Check Updates, Source Code)

3. Redesigned Notifications

• Light/dark-adaptive with better icons.
• Notifications now use a frosted glass material background with an Apple-like view.
• Close button and Expand/Collapse button appear on hover in the corners.
• New "Play Sounds" setting to enable or disable CopyShot notification sounds.

4. Screen Capture Tweaks

• Captures now use the display's backingScaleFactor to output at full Retina pixel resolution.
• Display matching now uses the hardware display ID (displayID) instead of frame-based comparison.
• The line-sorting threshold for OCR text observations changed from a fixed to a dynamic threshold.
• Other bug fixes to make the experience feel smoother.

5. Release Automation

• New GitHub Actions workflow (release.yml) that builds, codesigns (ad-hoc), creates a polished DMG, generates a SHA256 checksum, and publishes a draft GitHub Release.
• New build-dmg.yml for on-demand DMG builds.
• Dependabot configured for weekly GitHub Actions dependency updates.

6. New Icons

• New App icon and Menu bar icon.
