Change Log:-

Overview
===============
- Fixed 3 tracking rectangles (mouse hot spots) in the Self and Family Tabs which were causing the UI to crash on Ventura.
- Repaired deprecated code to comply with min spec macOS 10.13

Date Handling
===============
- Replaced deprecated use of CalendarDate with DateComponents. (many times).
eg:
[[NSDate date] descriptionWithCalendarFormat:@"%A %d-%b-%y at %H:%M" timeZone:nil locale:locale]
becomes
[Utils getDateStr:nil withFormat:@"EEEE d-MMM-yyyy at HH:mm"]

API usage
===============
- Generalised use of API queries to the backend of iFamily.
--- Introduced visual elements to notify user that API request/response is occurring in the background.
---impacted files from Utils_API.m:
AppController.m
DownloadLatestRelease.m
Registration.m
Utils.reportException()


Gedcom changes
===============

===============
- in NSURL -> Use of stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters instead of stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding
