Version v1.2.1 - bugfix release

This release fixes some bugs to do with app logic and the homebrew path.

Thanks to all new (and existing) contributors. I'd like to emphasise that I'm very grateful that so many of you open pull requests when you see an improvement to be made, and are a pleasure to interact with online.

Thanks also to those of you that respond to issues opened by fellow users. Given that this is a side project I don't keep a very close eye on issues, and your efforts make new users encountering issues feel welcome and supported.

Aside from the awesome contributors below, a shoutout to @double-thinker for the pre-work on native limiting. If anyone has the time to work on something similar to #163 please feel very welcome to work on it.
