in data.json.

v2.0.1

Ubuntu version names have changed in the JSON file, for example:

    mantic -> v23_10

Updating to this release is only required if you wish to download and
verify the Trusty Tahr images.

v2.0.0

Main changes include:

* Added an interactive main menu that displays all available
  distributions. Run dl-distro without any options.

* Added a config file. There are currently only 4 options in the config
  file, the main one being a default download directory.

* A man page has been created for dl-distro.

* Bash completions for options and distributions have been created.

Recommendations:

* Generate a new config file with defaults pre-loaded:

    `dl-distro -c`

* Purge the data directory. The directory structure has changed and you
  will need to re-fetch GPG keys during runtime:

    `dl-distro -P`

* If you disabled JSON auto-updating, disable it again:

    `dl-distro -a`

* Non-AUR users should remove the script from their `$PATH`.
  The provided `installer.sh` script will handle installation now.

v1.18.0

Added support for NixOS: https://nixos.org
Added support for Rocky Linux: https://rockylinux.org

Changed `--auto-fetch` to `--auto-update`.

Note: NixOS and Rocky Linux do not provide signed files for GPG verification,
only the checksums will be verified in dl-distro.

dl-distro now supports 408 images from 20 distributions.

v1.17.1

This release introduces a fix for Kali Weekly.

Internal changes to the cdimage server now require a trailing slash on
the url to retrieve the html content.

The html content is used to determine the current_week_num used in the
filename, instead of relying on user timezone data.

v1.17.0

This release introduces a new method of interacting with dl-distro.

You can now skip the interactive prompts by providing a jq path:

    dl-distro debian.netinst.amd64

This will bypass the prompts and start a download for the Debian
netinst amd64 image

v1.16.0

Two new options:

    -a, --auto-fetch   Toggle on/off automatic JSON fetching
    -u, --update-json  Update the locally stored JSON file

This update marks a significant transformation in the internal workings of
dl-distro:

- Reduced Bash code complexity in dl-distro by removing 355 lines, achieving a
34.77% decrease.

- Enhanced the JSON file with an addition of 591 lines, corresponding to a
32.65% increase.

**Key Changes:**

- **Old Approach:**
The previous version of dl-distro utilized complex combinational logic to
construct a jq query for data retrieval.

- **New Strategy:**
The latest release enables dl-distro to recursively navigate through the JSON
file. It progressively presents available options to the user, ending when it
reaches a URL entry, meaning we have reached the endpoint we want. This method
simplifies the Bash code tremendously and enhances maintainability.

**Implications of the Update:**

- **Dynamic Parsing:**
dl-distro now dynamically interprets the JSON file, which means additions to
distributions will not necessitate updates to the script. Users will
automatically see new entries in the JSON file.

- **Update Requirements:**
Updates to the script will only be required when new distributions are added or
if there are incompatibilities introduced in the JSON file.

This update is focused on enhancing maintainability for the project and
reducing the need for frequent updates, streamlining the overall experience.

v1.15.3

This release introduces 3 new options to allow greater control over dl-distro's
GPG keyring.

    -i, --import-key  Import a GPG key: dl-distro -i /path/to/key.asc
    -p, --purge-keys  Delete ALL stored GPG keys

Fedora will not be providing an updated image for the Astronomy Lab.

As of writing this release, the Security Lab image is not yet prepared
for Fedora 39. It is currently set to Fedora 38 in the JSON file
and will be changed when the new image is available. You will probably
encounter errors trying to download this image currently.
