Automated release build:
no changes in tcp2tor source code since previous testing release
but compiled with debug symbols and not stripped nor trimmed
+ https://github.com/go-while/go-pugleaf/releases/tag/v0.4.7-1

tcp2tor source (main.go) & build script:
+ https://github.com/go-while/go-pugleaf/tree/main/cmd/tcp2tor

main.go
sha256: cc4e0df954102b0af622d4baa04f3fda6cc7f40d9adf72cb453f1b4397d5b8bf
+ https://web.archive.org/web/20250920142611/https://raw.githubusercontent.com/go-while/go-pugleaf/refs/heads/main/cmd/tcp2tor/main.go

Stick to "main" branch for building.
use go 1.25.1 or later.
:~# go build -trimpath -ldflags "-w -s -X main.appVersion=0" -o tcp2tor

I'll add unstable patches to testing-001 branch like:
- configs to setup more listener targets
- debug output, counter, rate limits
- client authorization if possible
- a simple local web interface
