CrossMacro v1.0.1

CrossMacro v1.0.1 - Workflow Scripting, Wayland Coverage & Startup Stability

This release introduces workflow scripting capabilities, expands Linux/Wayland coverage, and fixes startup stability issues across Linux and macOS builds.

Key changes:

• Workflow scripting: Added structured control flow support in run steps (if, for, while, continue, break) for more expressive automations.
• New current-position action: Actions can now run at the live cursor position instead of only fixed coordinates.
• Wayland compatibility: Added Wayfire absolute pointer position support for better integration on Wayfire-based desktops.
• Linux startup reliability: Fixed a mutex fallback edge case that could allow a second instance in restricted environments.
• macOS launch fix: Resolved a Skia renderer configuration issue that could cause the app not to open in some builds.

• Playback & Recording: Improved pause/resume timing, safer absolute-to-relative fallback behavior, and consistent coordinate mode across editor/recorder flows.
• Text Expansion: Clipboard restore no longer overwrites user changes after paste.
• Shortcuts & Scheduling: Cancellation propagation and interval rescheduling fixes for more reliable automation.
• CLI/Headless: Clearer runtime error signaling and clean shutdown for headless playback sessions.

IPC, and packaging.

Key Changes:

  expansion pipeline, and improved daemon security/session lifecycle handling.
• User-Facing Improvements: Added randomized delay range support in the editor, fixed shortcut “Run when held” behavior for
  mouse triggers (stop on release), and improved Flatpak behavior (Wayland hybrid support and tray-related window visibility
  fix).

  where the app could fail to open on Windows.
• Release Pipeline Reliability: Hardened AUR SSH host-key verification in CI to prevent host trust failures during publish.
