Kiln 0.1.1

A bug-fix release of Kiln, a USB flasher for Linux, Windows and macOS.

Fixed

• Linux: after a write finished, the Kiln window stayed locked: its controls stayed disabled and the window could not be closed. It now unlocks as soon as the drive is ready.
• Arch Linux, CachyOS: the package now requires the Qt version it was built for, so the package manager updates Qt with it instead of installing a Kiln that does not start.

Windows and macOS change only in version number.

Kiln is early software. It erases whole drives, so check the drive name before you write.
