Larger word lists, more shortcuts, better WPM calculation - toipe v0.4.0

Highlights

• 🔤 Larger word lists. Challenge your typing with top500, top1000, top2500 or top5000 word lists. Change word list using the -w flag: toipe -w top1000
  • Breaking change: due to the use of an enum for specifying the -w flag, you can't use the same flag to specify a custom word list file. Use -f instead.
• ⌨️ More shortcuts. You can now use ctrl-r (to restart typing test), ctrl-c (to quit toipe) and ctrl-w (to clear last word).
  • Breaking change: removed r and q shortcuts in results screen to make it consistent with the typing screen.
• ♾️ Better WPM calculation. Toipe now uses standard WPM calculation instead of whatever I came up with. A special thanks to Darrien Glasser for explaining the issue (see #21 for details).

PRs merged

• Appease clippy and add to CI by @Property404 in #10
• More shortcuts by @Samyak2 in #20
• Fix wpm by @Samyak2 in #22

v0.3.0

More words, better UI code and other fixes in toipe v0.3.0

Improvements

• Support for more than 10 words, upto however many words your terminal can fit. This took a lot of code restructuring and most of the time for this release.
• Bug fix: exit results only when 'r' or 'q' is pressed. Previously, pressing any key on the results page exited toipe.
• Binaries should be published with this release. You can now try toipe without having cargo installed.

Pull requests merged

• Refactor UI in #4
• Support more words in #5
• chore(ci): add release workflow - binary releease, crates.io publish in #6
• fix: exit results only when 'r' or 'q' is pressed in #9
• Better README in #7

Full Changelog: v0.2.0...v0.3.0

Simpler word list, better results and API docs!

Improvements

• A much smaller word list (of 250 words) is used by default. This means typing tests will be much easier and more consistent across systems.
• Accuracy, WPM and CPM are much more robust now. You can't spam the keyboard to get a high score anymore :)
• Keybinds (r and q) are shown on the results screen.
• Documented every module, struct and function! Find the docs here. See this for the word selection algorithm.
