Release a new version. Please. #137

Since some distro pkgs maintainers use the last release on github to create the pkg, having the last release to be a 3 years old release, make the distro pkgs to be outdated with the current fix.

In this particular case, the last release (0.4.0) doesn't have the HiDPI fix you made. So stuff like https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/quicktile didn't work with 4k 2x scale.

It took me a while to figure the problem since I did saw the issues commenting on the HiDPI and I saw the commit where you fixed it but couldn't understand what was happening on my system.

Thanks.

Thanks for reminding me. The pandemic put me in a hole, psychologically, and I'm still slowly picking up the pieces of projects I lost track of.

I want to merge #71 first, but I'll try to slot in both that and this within the next week or two.

EDIT 2023-06-02: Merged #71. I'll try to make time for release QA within the next few days.

Sorry. This got buried under a pile of other TODOs and I completely forgot about it. I'll try to get it done within the next week or two.

Over the last couple of days, I've been working to identify and resolve whatever other bugs look to be of comparable character and difficulty (eg #124) to flesh out the 0.4.1 release and I remembered why I forgot to make a release of the HiDPI code:

I don't have any HiDPI monitors, so I left it out for people to beta-test and forgot to come back to it.

Just confirming that QuickTile 0.4.1 seems to work well on HiDPI , running with scaling 1.25.

When putting 3 windows side-by-side, I noticed a 6px gap between left and center window, and 1px between center and right. But I don't think this is HiDPI-specific, as it also shows up when scaling is x1.0. I'll test more this week and open a new issue after more testing.

Unrelated: thank you for your work on QuickTile, @ssokolow! I just started using it, and it replaced a pile of tiling scripts I had hacked together over the years, using xdotool and wmctrl.

I grew tired of the whac-a-mole game with app-specific window quirks, with windows that never perfectly aligned with each other. QuickTile solved this elegantly for me, with the added benefit of circular window adjustments. Big thank you!

Thanks. I'll see if I can budget some time in the next few days to get a proper release rolled.
