Release 1.1.0

The two major announcements with this release are POSIX compliance and functional testing.

POSIX compliance ensures portability and predictability across different Unix-like systems. It promotes best practices, making scripts more robust and maintainable. This ensures scripts can work correctly in various environments.

Console output testing verifies that nodebuilder's user interface displays properly, which can help to catch bugs and operating system inconsistencies. While the CI checks already functional tested the script by ensuring the sync progresses, the new test_nodebuilder script will further improve stability in future releases.

Additionally:

• Added an Issues template for feature requests.
• CI checks on commits to master will wait long enough for GitHub cache to clear.
• CI now runs nodebuilder and test_nodebuilder against two versoins of Ubuntu and two versions of macOS.
• A -p/--prune argument to manually the set the prune as you desire, even if it's already configured in bitcoin.conf.
• Lots of UI enhancements, stability improvements and bug fixes.
