🌙 Release Notes v4.7.0

A major update featuring a native audio analyzer, overhauled networking, advanced notification rules, and expanded compositor support.

✨ New Features

Audio: Native Pipewire spectrum (no external Cava needed), volume limit events, and per-app volume persistence.
Networking: Fully revamped UI with better signal icons and WPA-Enterprise support.
Notifications: Added pattern-based display rules (filter by app/body) and quick-access settings.
Dock: Native distro/custom icons, renamed "Static" mode to "Attached," and improved auto-hide performance.
Wallpaper: Precise interval timers, granular transition selection, and an expanded Wallhaven browser (70% height).
Clipboard: Added categories and "time ago" indicators.
Theming: Enhanced Ghostty and Zen Browser Kitty and the Pywalfox template.
Compositors: Improved native support for MangoWC (DWL-based) and Labwc (workspace/window tracking).
System: Support for GIF profile pictures, ddcutil dynamic sleep for brightness.

⚡ Improvements

Performance: Reduced GPU overhead on Dock auto-hide; optimized animations for blur compatibility.
UX: Added onTextChanged autosave for inputs, fixed Night Light visual noise, and improved settings search indexing.
Widgets: Fixed Media Mini width logic and Lock Screen text wrapping.

🐛 Bug Fixes

Stability: Resolved SIGSEGV crashes in Hyprland and Workspace pills; fixed re-entrant QML incubation crashes.
Hardware: Fixed crashes during monitor hotplugging and resolved Bar auto-hide race conditions.
UI: Patched OSD visibility logic, fixed Dock blur positioning, and corrected NCheckbox alignment.
Input: Prevented accidental settings loss on popup close.
