Amnuts has been around for 30 years!

So to celebrate its birthday (and mine - I only wish I were as young as the Amnuts code! 😁), it gets a new release. Not only that, but it also gets a new website at https://www.amnuts.net/.

New things

• Added libtelnet vendor library to help with telnet negotiation
• Use NAWS to get terminal size
• Added a new src/telnet.c module that wraps socket I/O through libtelnet via new write_sock, write_sock_with_size, write_telnet and write_telnet_with_size helpers
• Added term_width, term_height, term_type and telnet fields to the user struct so the talker tracks each user's terminal capabilities
• Added the terminal command to see your current terminal size and telnet opt values

Improved things

• Improved charecho support via telnet opt codes
• Updated pager command to include auto size and have .help and other paged commands use your terminal height correctly
• Updated the cmdcount command code to make it better
• Fixed display bug in the preview command
• Fixed segfault in netlinks when verification fails
• Fixed the look command which had been broken in a previous tweak
• Switched compiler to clang and moved to the GNU C23 standard, with -Wpedantic and -Wextra enabled - fixed all warnings the new flags exposed
• Added a GitHub Actions workflow that compiles the talker on push so build breakages are caught automatically
