v4.0

This release is chock full of refinements contributed by Toni Förster (@stonerl). Thank you Toni!

• Reduced the app’s filesize by 68%.
• Added the ability to directly edit the allowlist table with Cut, Copy, and Paste, along with a context menu for doing the same.
• Made Shut Up Helper’s toolbar button respond faster on Macs with Apple Silicon.
• Inverted Shut Up Helper’s toolbar icon state. Its icon now matches the current comment-blocking status instead of its future state. Please give it a week and I’m sure you’ll get used to it.
• Added a German translation.
• Potentially fixed an issue that caused Shut Up to randomly need resetting.
• Added more info about the most recent stylesheet update.
• Made the label for Safari’s page context menu reflect Shut Up’s current status. (requires a recent macOS release)
• Changed most alert windows to use modal overlays within the main Shut Up window.
• Hid the label underneath the Remember where I show comments checkbox when unchecked.
• Disabled the Update Stylesheet button and menu item if it was updated only a few seconds ago.
• Added more debugging info to the email composed when selecting Help › Contact Developer.
• Fixed a display bug when pasting multiline text in the Add Domain text field.
• Fixed a subtle visual bug in the setup flow.
• Updated outdated terminology in some dialog boxes.
• Removed a superfluous menu item under the Help menu.

This update requires macOS 12.4 (Monterey) or newer.
