Bugfixes! 🐛

1. Return correct sprites
   • Using -n mew no longer returns mewto sprites
   • Using -n natu no longer returns eternatus sprites
   • etc
2. Ensure that duplicate cowfiles are skipped during dockerfile build
   • which created the cows.tar.gz file that is used to build release binaries
   • the binaries now ship with the correct number of sprites
     • 3,547 instead of 5-117

🚀 This (correct once again) reduction in sprites results in a 10% speed uptick on my linux machine, and roughly equivalent speeds on other architectures.

What's Changed

• Support printing IDs and selecting by ID by @tmck-code in #62

Introducing, unique IDs! 🔍

This adds a feature that has been on my wishlist for quite some time. Selecting a pokemon by name (e.g. -n snorlax), will pick a random snorlax each time, and it hasn't been possible to request a specific sprite to print.

Now, each pokemon has its own unique ID that can be requested, and displayed

• request a pokemon with -i

  echo w | pokesay -i 0727.0965

• display the pokemon ID beside its name with -I
• list all pokemon and their IDs with -l
  • list the IDs for a specific pokemon with --l=name, e.g. --l=snorlax

Full Changelog: v0.16.1...v0.17.0

What's Changed

• use a single global debug timer by @tmck-code in #75

This updates the debug timer to include more timings, it can be run by setting the DEBUG ENV var, e.g.

echo w | DEBUG=1 pokesay

Most normal people won't ever need to run this - it's more of a small quality of life improvement for myself as I continue to work and debug over time.

Full Changelog: v0.14.2...v0.15.0

All examples are created side-by-side in the same terminal program and session. I opened 2 tmux panes and called the old (left) and new (right) versions of pokesay. These examples roughly represent the impact of the visual upgrade that users will experience
