• Input Hotkeys redesign:

• Add BlackOut without mirroring checkbox in the Controls menu of each display
• Add BlackOut other displays action on holding Option+Shift
• Add Allow brightness to reach zero checkbox in the Controls menu for built-in displays
  • By default this is disabled to avoid turning off the display by mistake
• Implement BlackOut for AirPlay/Sidecar/DisplayLink (it's just a pitch black overlay really, but that's the most I can do)

Improvements

• Add Emergency Kill Switch for BlackOut
  • Press the ⌘ Command key more than 8 times in a row to force disable BlackOut
• F.lux detection improvements
  • Ensure Overlay gets activated
  • Add note about Shifty as an alternative
  • Update AppleScript for Monterey

• Allow Preferences window to be moved by its background
• Add selector for switching between System and Lunar adaptive brightness

• Disable overlay temporarily when taking a screenshot

Fixes

• Fix Gamma flashing bright from time to time
• Remove Software Dimming delay if it's the only control enabled
• Fix displays having low brightness after wake/reconnection
• Fix overflow crash in Clock Mode
• Fix BlackOut being stuck when using it without mirroring
• Fix contrast getting stuck to 0 when Lunar is restarted while BlackOut is on
• Check for vendor ID on BetterDummy screens

Note: Starting from v5.5.0 Lunar will require macOS 11.0+
