What's New in v1.2.0

This release significantly improves the user experience when your Aranet4 device is not in range.

Features

✨ Smart Scan Timeout: Scanning now stops after 30 seconds instead of running indefinitely, saving battery life

📡 Stale Reading Display: When the device is out of range, the menu bar shows your last CO2 reading with how long ago it was taken (e.g., "📡 850 ppm (2h ago)")

🔄 Auto-Reconnect: The app automatically retries scanning every 5 minutes when the device isn't found, so it reconnects automatically when you come back home

💬 Clearer Messaging:

• Updated status from "Not Found" to "Not in Range"
• Changed emoji from 📍 to 📡 for better clarity
• Removed duplicate error messages

🎯 Context-Aware Actions: The Refresh button intelligently changes to "Scan" when disconnected
