🚀 FancyLock v0.0.7

This release is packed with security, usability, and visual improvements for an even fancier screen locking experience.

✨ New Features

• Custom PAM Service
  Now uses its own PAM config to bypass faillock lockouts, preventing extended lockouts from repeated login failures.

• Built-in Font
  No more font issues—fonts are now baked into the binary.

🖼️ UI Improvements

• Larger Password Dots and Lockout Messages
  Clearer, more prominent visuals across all monitors.

• Big "LOCKED" and Timer
  Makes it unmistakable that the screen is locked, and how long until retry.

🔐 Security & Stability

• SecurePassword Handling
  Passwords are now stored in memory-safe structures with zero-wipe protection.

• PAM Lockout Logic
  Improved lockout visuals and retry timers, complete with countdown and shaking animation.

• Wayland & Hyprland Fixes
  Fixed crashes on authentication flow and resource leaks, especially under Hyprland.

• Post-Unlock Delay
  Small delay after unlocking ensures all Wayland resources clean up cleanly.

🧠 Internal Improvements

• Switched from xrandr command to native XRandR extension
  No more shelling out to detect monitors—FancyLock now uses Go-native X11 calls for speed and reliability.

• Mutex Protection
  Thread-safe access to shared resources like media processes and lock state.

• Better Logging & Error Handling
  Log clarity improved across authentication, monitor detection, and media handling.

Thanks for using FancyLock! ❤️
Stay secure, stay fancy.
