0.12.8

Highlights:

• 🎨 Various UI fixes including correcting minor layout issues, code area highlighting when selecting a category and improving documentation styling.
• 📈 Improved performance when selecting categories with numerous scripts. Now, script selection is smooth and responsive, even with a large number of scripts.
• 🗓️ Improved disabling scheduled tasks on Windows, with better output, robust handling and additional tasks including those that trigger automatic Windows updates to improve persistence of disabling automatic background updates.
• 🧤 Done extensive refactorings and enforced stricter linting and compiler options. This enhances maintainability, stability, and paves the way for upcoming features.

⚠️ Note for Windows users who uninstalled system apps using previous version

If you used privacy.sexy (v0.12.6 or v0.12.7) to delete system apps, please follow these steps to avoid potential issues with Windows Updates:

1. Open Command Prompt (Start Menu ➜ type "cmd" ➜ select "Command Prompt").
2. Copy and paste the following command:

   PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "Remove-Item -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\AppxAllUserStore\EndOfLife\*' -Force -Verbose"

3. Press Enter.

This action ensures that there are no side effects related to Windows Updates, since Microsoft may block updates if it is unable to reinstall Edge.
This release addresses this issue, ensuring safe deletion of system apps as in previous versions. See #287 for more detailed information.
