Full Changelog: v4.2.0...v4.3.0

Fix issue introduced with v4.1.0 where lockargs containing "-n" (--no-fork) was always overwritten causing timing (preLock, lock, postLock) to break. Switch custom pre- and post-Lock scripts to be executed from xdg-directory .config/betterlockscreen/ only. (that's why minor-release because it could be breaking for some)

• Refuse to run if $i3lockcolor_bin is already running (#380) thanks to @MithicSpirit
• Merge new config-file location to be in-sync with docs (#382)

• Added quiet-mode (#288) thanks to @atagen
• Fix DPI scaling (#287) thanks to @jeffmhubbard
• Run prelock and postlock synchronously to avoid race condition (#285) thanks to @ti-mo
• Fixes wrong help message for --off (#329) thanks to @AvatarMod

Also fixes: some typos (e5a1419), Copyright year (1900cd5), old urls from repository move (to betterlockscreen/betterlockscreen - 1900cd5) and ShellCheck errors (321b3eb)

This release includes the first fix for #277 described more in the beta-release below. If you have any issues please don't hesitate to open an issue :)

This release should resolve the primary reason (Type forking instead of simple) when Betterlockscreens is configured as systemd-service and called by "systemctl suspend". After running the command the screen gets locked but the device stayed on and was suspending after the system got unlocked. (#277)

Please let me know if you still experience any related or new issues 👍🏻

Bugfix: Missing dollar for variable in cmd_exists check

Betterlockscreen 4 goes stable!

In about the last three months we were able to archive some big steps for Betterlockscreen, the most active fork Multi-Monitor from @jeffmhubbard got merged back, we were able to survive a bigger update with parameter changes for i3lock-color (thanks to @Raymo111 for providing PR) and we improved/stabilized in many ways.

So now we hope you can enjoy the new and even better Betterlockscreen 🥳 🎉 If you have any problems or ideas don't hesitate to create an issue and ask for help :)
