Full Changelog: v1.5.0...v1.5.1

v1.5.0

What's Changed

• Add AHK process handling to exit if parent Python process dies unexpectedly by @spyoungtech in #258 -- resolves #257

This release includes a behavior improvement in scenarios where your Python process ends suddenly without the opportunity to run its registered cleanup handlers. Previously, in such cases, AutoHotkey processes created by Python would get orphaned and continue running (when using AHK v1) or produce an unusual error (when using AHK v2). Now, the AutoHotkey processes will be able to infer whether the parent Python process is still alive and will exit gracefully if the parent process has exited.
