This is a pre-release to test things after a lot of forward progress has been made. Big-ticket features include but are not limited to:

Configuration can be in YAML or JSON
Configuration snippets can be imported from the default library or anywhere on the filesystem
Default rules now flag "Opera" after seeing an attack in the wild that does that
Many documentation and build script fixes
AI-robots.txt rules are added to the default config to stop the worst offenders that care to identify themselves
Apache, Nginx, and Traefik have gotten documentation
Users can match by headers as well as user agents or paths
Internal refactoring to make Anubis faster and easier to maintain
"Secondary screening" has been removed to give a more consistent user experience
The Internet Archive is allowlisted by default
X-Forwarded-For header calculation should be a bit better
Subpath support (run anubis on /git)
Many implicit things have been documented

And more. I will try to tag new versions more aggressively in the future.
