2.1.1

This is a bug fix release that fixes the top 5 most common crashes and issues in version 2.1.0.

• Improvement Saves recipes automatically after import. See issue #634.

• Bug No longer allow MaxTo to subclass child windows. This affected e.g. MikroTik WinBox child windows causing crashes.
• Bug Fix Chromium-based browsers being "restored" when exiting full-screen video. See issue #640.

• Bug Fix ArgumentException when adding hotkeys during startup.
• Bug Fix a crash that could occur when connecting to a machine via remote desktop.
