What has changed?

* Much improvement on keyboard usage.
       * For a long time Logitech and other presenters using the
         powerpoint keys are supported.
* Resizing is supported.
* Reload is supported.
* Signage support using a new SIGHUP handler, which reloads the
 current opened slide, allowing remote control too.
* With SIGHUP the PATH_MAX barrier is solved too. Catpoint now scales
 infinite with slides. In case you are using over 5000 slides with
 catpoint, see PATH-MAX-LIMIT.md for tips.
* A manpage was added by Evil_Bob. Thanks!
* The make system has be simplified.
* The caching of slides has been simplified and less RAM is used,
 supporting millions of catpoint instances on your average AWS
 node.

All of this was only possible due to people using and adapting the
simple code in catpoint to your practical needs. All patches are
welcome!

Always consider using catpoint with pointtools:

Have fun!
