Introducing BashPass version 3.1! This release features several significant changes that improve the maintainability and usability of BashPass.

Firstly, the installation process has been updated. The old one-liner scripts for installation, updating, and uninstallation have been replaced with two Makefiles (GNUmakefile and BSDmakefile), streamlining the codebase and making BashPass more manageable. This also means that BashPass is now installed globally on the system, compared to before where it was user specific.

In addition, I have made some code changes to enhance readability and maintainability. Variable and function names have been converted to snake_case, and some variables have been given more descriptive names, making their purpose clearer.

The most significant addition in this release is the Wayland support for the copy feature. After transitioning from X11 to Wayland, I noticed a lack of Wayland support for BashPass. To remedy this, I've rewritten the copy() function, to use wl-copy when it's available on the system. This rewrite also allowed me to clean up the function, making it more readable and efficient.

Other changes include improved documentation, GitHub workflows for testing, and other minor updates.

Thank you for using BashPass, and please don't hesitate to share any feedback or suggestions for future updates.
