* Work around: Relax `rsync` exit code 23: Ignore instead of error now (part of #1587)
* Feature (experimental): Add new snapshot log filter `rsync transfer failures (experimental)` to find them easier (they are normally not shown as "error").
This feature is experimental because it is based on hard-coded error message strings in the rsync source code

* Fix bug: Disabling suspend during taking a backup ("inhibit suspend") hangs when BiT is run as root and no user is logged into a desktop environment (#1592)
* Change of semantics: BiT running as root never disables suspend during taking a backup ("inhibit suspend") even though this may have worked before in BiT <= v1.4.1 sometimes (required to fix #1592)
* Fix bug: RTE: module 'qttools' has no attribute 'initate_translator' with encFS when prompting the user for a password (#1553).
* Fix bug: Schedule dropdown menu used "minutes" instead of "hours".
* Fix bug: Unhandled exception "TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable" in tools.py function __log_keyring_warning (#820).
Logging thread removed and logger module correctly initialized as fix. Is "Heisenbug" so 100 % retesting was not possible.

* Build: Activate PyLint warning W1401 (anomalous-backslash-in-string).
* Build: Add codespell config.
* Build: Allow manual specification of python executable (--python=PYTHON_PATH) in common/configure and qt/configure

* Build: Install dbus configuration file to /usr/share not /etc (#1596)
* Build: `configure` does delete old installed files (`qt4plugin.py` and `net.launchpad.backintime.serviceHelper.conf`) that were renamed or moved in a previous release (#1596)
* Translation: Minor modifications in source strings and updating language files.
* Refactor: Solved circular dependency between tools.py and logger.py to fix #820
* Improved: qtsystrayicon.py, qt5_probing.py, usercallbackplugin.py and all parts of app.py
do now also use "backintime" as logging namespace in the syslog to ensure complete log output with `journalctl | grep -i backintime`
Version 1.4.1 (2023-10-01)
* Dependency: Add "qt translations" to GUI runtime dependencies (#1538).
* Build: Unit tests do generically ignore all instead of well-known warnings now (#1539).
