    v1.8.1

This release introduces a QoL change. Instead of using the user's GPG keyring and polluting it with various distribution keys, we are now using a dedicated GPG keyring for `dl-distro`.

The directories for the keyring are as follows:

- `$XDG_DATA_HOME/dl-distro`
- `$HOME/.local/share/dl-distro`

`dl-distro` should take care of everything, but as always, if an error occurs during fetching from the keyserver, manual intervention is required, or skipping verification. Updated [Error Importing Signing Key](https://codeberg.org/bashuser30/dl-distro#error-importing-signing-key) section of README.md.

A new option is also introduced with this release:

`-l, --listkeys`

This will list the keys saved in the dedicated keyring.

Added support for Parrot OS and also added a new option, `-n` or `--noverify`. This will skip GPG fetching and verification. Ideally only use if GPG fetching fails but you still want to download the ISO.

    d3c5dd66 · Changed Leap filenames. · 
    v1.4.3

Switched openSUSE Leap filenames to use a static name, "Media", instead of "BuildXXX.X".

If you download Leap from the site normally and try to verify the checksum you will get an error because you will download a "BuildXXX.X" ISO not the "Media" ISO that is currently in the SHA file.

Examples:

ISO file that is linked on the SUSE website.
`openSUSE-Leap-15.5-NET-x86_64-Media.iso`

ISO file you will get from the SUSE website.
`openSUSE-Leap-15.5-NET-x86_64-Build491.1-Media.iso`

Contents of paired SHA file.
`a2f7f2f1b6b3d3ef96f5c8f804d87ebd01e5cf982357c533f4c39c33cd20ec56 openSUSE-Leap-15.5-NET-x86_64-Media.iso`

As you can see the SHA file contains a different filename resulting in an error. The devs will likely change this so the SHA file will have the "BuildXXX.X" scheme. This commit will enable us to read the SHA file for the ISO name for Leap AND Tumbleweed now, ensuring we always wget the latest "Build" for Leap and "Snapshot" for Tumbleweed.

    13532dd7 · Implemented fix for openSUSE Tumbleweed filename issues. · 
    v1.4.2

Resolved issues with the dynamic naming of openSUSE Tumbleweed non-vm images.

Previously, the Tumbleweed images used a frequently changing "SnapshotYYYYMMDD.iso" naming convention. With this release, we default to the more consistent "Current.iso" scheme. I've added a step post-GPG verification: for standard Tumbleweed images, the SHA file is read to retrieve and set the actual "Snapshot" filename in "$iso_file", ensuring the correct filename is used for downloading and checksum verification.

    v1.4.1

Fixed filename issues with openSUSE.

I introduced a new flag last commit for the wget function, `--trust-server-names`. I am reverting this and just using the "Snapshot" filenames instead of "Current". Hopefully they don't change too often. This was causing issues with GPG verification due to the variables still holding the "Current" filename and not the updated one via `--trust-server-names`.

- Changed gpg_verify(). Invoking the function without an argument will verify the sig file now. Usage: gpg_verify and gpg_verify "$sum_file"
- Removed majority of logic in wget_spider(). It is now just a basic function to --spider files.
- Added `fallback_keys` directory and included all current keys used by the script. Should only be used as a backup when the automatic key import faces errors.

    v1.1.0

- New function, fetch_and_assign_values(). Fetches values for specific keys from the JSON file. Assigns the values to variables that our functions can use. Usage: fetch_and_assign_values "gpg_key" "netinst.url" "netinst.iso_file" "sig_file" "sum_file" "sum_algo"
- Decomposed `download_and_verify_iso()` into smaller functions for better modularity and adaptability in future use cases.
- Prioritize user-specific configuration in .config, followed by the script's directory, and finally in /usr/share/dl-distro.
- Going to use the JSON file more and have more hard coded things like versions, environments and architectures instead of relying on a replacement method. A bunch more entries have been added to the JSON file.

Additional notes:
- This is likely the final refactor for the time being. The next steps would be to add support for more distributions as time permits.

- I feel moving to a .json config file will ease issues with more complex distros. More info about where the file is read from can be found in the "Non AUR Install" section of the README.md.
