ZigZag 0.1.1

ZigZag 0.1.1

Faster editing and stitch planning, more reliable copy/paste and embroidery
exports, and a Windows download built with GitHub Actions.

Improvements and fixes

• Open SVGs without text faster by skipping the system font scan; scan fonts
  in the background in the editor.
• Speed up large selections, deleting objects, saving, overlap removal,
  stitch checks, and stitch playback. Reduce redraws while the editor is idle.
• Fix copy/paste, including duplicate paste events on Windows, and preserve
  names and stitch settings when adding the same artwork more than once.
• Preserve stitch positions when re-exporting imported embroidery files;
  improve handling of malformed PES, JEF, and Bluetooth capture files.
• Make stitch-type changes and object reordering undoable, and improve
  planning before exports, Bluetooth uploads, and agent requests.
• Fix edge cases in satin stitching, routing, SVG references, MCP batches,
  and MCP bridge responses.
