From 44912b8e9a5fe66eff9e3ea09262fdab9dadb1f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "blink-so[bot]" <211532188+blink-so[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2025 00:39:39 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] update README to reflect new build tools and release automation Updated README.md to be accurate with recent changes: ## Installation Section - Added GitHub Releases as primary installation method - Provided download examples for all 4 supported platforms - Updated Go version requirement from 1.21+ to 1.25+ - Reorganized with releases first, build from source second ## Quick Start Section - Added installation options (releases vs build from source) - Updated examples to use 'jail' instead of './jail' (assumes installed) - Mentioned Makefile as build option ## Development Section - Updated to use Makefile targets as primary approach - Added all available make targets (build, build-all, test, etc.) - Kept manual Go commands as secondary option - Added reference to build script for cross-platform builds ## Accuracy Improvements - Corrected Go version requirement to match CI workflows - Added proper installation instructions for all platforms - Made Makefile the recommended development approach - Maintained backward compatibility with direct Go commands The README now accurately reflects the current state of the project with automated releases, Makefile tooling, and proper installation options.

TLS interception details are implementation specifics that users don't need to understand upfront. The README is now more focused and less intimidating for new users.
