What is new in unfd 0.4.1

First download of unfd, the menu bar app that switches between Arabic and English and fixes wrong-layout text with ⌥⇧Space.

**Download:** `unfd-0.4.1.zip` below.

- macOS 14 or later, Apple silicon and Intel (universal).
- Signed ad hoc, **not notarized** by Apple, so macOS blocks the first launch once:
 - macOS 15 or later: click **Done**, then System Settings > Privacy & Security > **Open Anyway**.
 - macOS 14: right-click the app, choose **Open**, then **Open** again.
- Then turn on unfd under Privacy & Security > Accessibility (the menu bar panel has a button for it).

Full steps in the [README](https://github.com/alpha2xyz/unfd#install).
