🚀 ForgeWatch 1.4.1 is out!

The big news: minimum Python version is now 3.11 (down from 3.13), and the CI matrix covers 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 and 3.14 — all must pass. More of you can now use it out of the box.

github-monitor is now forgewatch!

I rebranded my PR monitoring daemon. The old name locked it to a single platform, but the vision has always been broader than that. "forgewatch" better reflects what the app is really about: watching over your code forge, wherever it lives.

Why the rename? Two reasons:

1. It's more general. The architecture doesn't depend on GitHub specifically, and I want to grow it to support GitLab, Gitea, and other forges over time.
2. It's more descriptive. "forgewatch" tells you exactly what it does -- it watches your forge for pull requests and keeps you notified via D-Bus and desktop notifications on Linux.

The daemon is async Python, runs as a systemd user service, and comes with an optional system tray indicator. Give it a look if you're a Linux dev who juggles PRs across repos.
