v0.12.1

These are the release notes for ActivityWatch version v0.12.1.

This release mainly improves macOS support through a new default method of watching window titles (written in Swift) which should fix bugs with missing data and permissions issues. But it also fixes a few minor bugs and updates various dependencies to newer versions (Python 3.9, Qt6).
