programmers-screenshot (0.22.0) noble; urgency=medium

• Optional update check. Switch it on in the settings window and the tool
  asks github.com once a day whether a newer release exists, and shows a
  notification with a button to the release notes if so. Off by default:
  this is the only network call the program makes.
• The check runs in a process of its own after a capture has finished, so
  nothing can put a network timeout between the keypress and the overlay.
  It never downloads or installs anything.
• Silent whenever there is nothing to say: up to date, offline, rate
  limited, or a reply that does not parse.
• The first run after an upgrade now reports what changed, read from the
  changelog already shipped in the package. No network. Nothing on a first
  install, on a downgrade, or twice for the same version.
• Bookkeeping moved to its own state.json, so machine state is not mixed
  into the preferences you edit.
