Hi everyone,

After thinking about this for a long time, I’m pleased to announce that 
what was supposed to be Offpunk 2.7 will be renamed XKCDpunk 1.0.

You can read more about this hard decision here:
https://ploum.net/2025-04-01-xkcdpunk.html

As the name implies, this release comes with a new "xkcd" command. 
Further work will be needed to remove all the non-xkcd related code from 
XKCDpunk.

Official website is now https://xkcdpunk.net

Changelog:

## XKCD 1.0 - April 1st 2025

IMPORTANT: Offpunk is now renamed to XKCDpunk. See
https://ploum.net/2025-04-01-xkcdpunk.html
- Introducing command "xkcd" to display a given xkcd comic.
- Switching website from offpunk.net to xkcdpunk.net
- blocklist: marked x.com, twitter.com and youtube.com as blocked to save bandwith until we have a viable option to use them with offpunk. We plan to block everything but xkcd.com.
CHANGES:
- "shell" (or "!") now works even without content (so you can run it on startup)
- offpunk: improved "version" to help debugging on the mailing-list
FIXES:
- "reload" on a too large content will actually fetch it
- Consider mimetype "message/news" as "gemtext" because file is sometimes confused. (reported by JMCS)
- ignore annoying warnings for LibreSSL users (by Anna cyberTailor)
- ansicat: workaround what seems to be a BS4 bug where elements after a <br/> were ignored
- offpunk: be more explicit about how to unblock a blocked URL
- ansicat: if a file identified as html starts with "<rss ", then it is a XML, not HTML
- fix a long-standing bug where "find" could not be used in lists
- restored "wikipedia" command by using gemi.dev
- netcache now truncate path which are too long (>260 char) instead of raising an useless error
