New update, who dis?

Welcome to a much needed update for tgen since last year! This update improves Go by bumping the app to 1.24. There are also 2 noteworthy features, let's dive into them!

Helm-Style Command-Line Value Setting (PR #48)

This release introduces powerful new command-line flags that bring Helm-style value setting capabilities to tgen. You can now set template values directly from the command line using --set and --set-string flags, making it easier to override configuration values without modifying values files.

The --set flag provides intelligent type inference, automatically converting values to their appropriate types (booleans, integers, floats, or strings). Meanwhile, --set-string forces all values to be treated as strings, giving you precise control over data types. Both flags support advanced features including nested value setting with dot notation (app.name=myapp), comma-separated multiple values, array syntax with curly braces ({web,api,database}), and array indexing (servers[0].port=80). The implementation properly handles YAML boolean values, special values like null and empty arrays, and includes comprehensive escaping for special characters.

Directory Reading Functions (PR #49)

The template function library has been expanded with four new directory reading functions that enable templates to dynamically discover and iterate over filesystem contents. The new functions include readdir and readlocaldir for non-recursive directory listing, as well as readdirrecursive and readlocaldirrecursive for recursive directory traversal.

These functions return sorted arrays of file and directory names, with directories distinguished by trailing slashes. The readdir and readdirrecursive functions can access any directory the process has permissions for, while their readlocal counterparts are security-restricted to only access paths within the current working directory. This dual approach provides flexibility for trusted environments while maintaining security boundaries when needed. All functions handle symbolic links safely by not following them, and the recursive variants use forward slashes for cross-platform consistency.
