Changelog

This is a major release mainly due to the name change, and PyPI package addition. The package has been renamed to pwncat-cs and the default entrypoint has also been renamed to pwncat-cs. These changes were made in an effort to deconflict with Cytopia pwncat. Beyond that, some new features were added as seen in the release notes below.

I've tried to update all references to the old pwncat entrypoint, but may have missed some throughout the documentation or code. Please open an issue if you notice any old references to the previous name.

It's worth noting that the internal module name is still pwncat, as Cytopia does not implement an importable package (only a command line entrypoint). I may change this name in the future, but for now it doesn't cause any issues and would require a major refactor so I'm going to leave it.
