PR: [ #453 ] - Fix Changelog and Email Notifications and Patch Uninstall
-Fix a report from nlurker here for blank changelog URLs in the email notifications: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/merlinau-v1-4-1-the-ultimate-firmware-auto-updater-gnuton-support.91326/post-951011
The Changelog check (pre-approval) was not running before the email notification with the run_now parameter.
-Quick fix to allow uninstall of the script when installed on unsupported routers as reported by mxxcon here: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/merlinau-v1-4-1-the-ultimate-firmware-auto-updater-gnuton-support.91326/post-951128

PR: [ #454 ] - Improvement
-Miscellaneous code improvements.
(Thanks @Martinski4GitHub )

PR: [ #455 ] - Fixes and Code Improvements
-Improved uninstallation workflow when users attempt to install MerlinAU on unsupported routers.
-Now the code will automatically prompt users to uninstall immediately after informing them that their current router model is unsupported. In such scenarios, this provides users a quick & easy way to uninstall.
(Thanks @Martinski4GitHub )

As always, we highly recommend you update ASAP as this includes functional improvements and little bug fixes.

Thanks!

I think this is ready. Feel free to review :)

Also; should we still remove the build number from the version.txt or have we stopped caring yet?

Looks good to me!!

I think we should remove it from both branches now, and then we'll add it to the development branch only when it's needed.
IOW, the default will be NO build timestamp, unless we're making a lot of changes and we want users to switch to the develop branch for testing & validation purposes (e.g. Beta testing).

My 2 cents.
