What is new in Tactile 1.1.3

## Fix: moving the settings window with Rectangle running

Dragging Tactile's settings window while Rectangle, or another window manager with drag to snap, was running could freeze Tactile or make it quit. Tactile was inspecting its own window from a background thread at the moment the window moved, and the two could lock each other up. Tactile now inspects its own windows only on the main thread. Nothing else changes in this release.

Requires macOS 14.6 or later and a Force Touch trackpad.
