--self-injectby specifying a port list (comma separated, range or increment): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQyFoUG18WY
- port argument not only takes comma seperated value or range, but now also an increment:
443+10

- Fixed broken pipe with
tail -F
- CI: Retry with different port on test failure
- Added feature: Made
PSEStoreinstance available to all PSE scripts to persist data, interacti with sockets, stop signal and logger - Added chat-bot PSE

--reconn,--keep-open,--localand--remote - Fixed various bugs with threads
- Fixed shutdown behaviour with Ctrl+c for --keep-open
- Fixed shutdown behaviour with Ctrl+c for --reconn

--ping-word): #49 - Python type coverage report
- CI: Added ca. 13,000 LoC integration tests and fixed findings accordingly
- CI: Added dockerized interactive tests to simulate Ctrl+c
- Code: really heavy heavy code refactoring
- Option:
-C/--crlfnow takes an argument to either force LF, CRLF or CR or even remove line feeds altogether on input AND output (or keep as it is, if not specified) - Modularized code for better plugin integration
- Fixes #47 Change
--udp-*options to--*to allow both, UDP and TCP
- CI: pylinyt
- CI: mypy
- Code: heavy refactoring
- CI: separate jobs

- Feature: colorized logging (
-c/--color): #56
- Feature: implemented remote port forwarding mode:
-R/--remote
- Fixed
-L/--localmode to now persist multiple requests - Fixed
-C/--crlfOnly replace\nwith\r\nif\nexists and don't blindly add.
