Changes

• Add "sus" (Among Us crewmate) cow.
• Add "actually..." cow.

Internal changes

• Add CONTRIBUTORS.md file with contributor credits.
• Add notes on contributing a cow, and licensing it, to CONTRIBUTING.md.
  • Require "GPLv1+ and Artistic" licensing for new contributions.

3.8.3

Changes

• Remove offensive cows "telebears" and "satanic", sending to cows-offensive. (#46)
• Improve Makefile, bringing more in line with GNU conventions, improve configurability, fix some make uninstall problems, etc. (#26) (Thanks, Hans Niedermann!)
• Remove leftover "Listing cowfiles in pretty format" debugging output (#50)
• Fix "uninitialized value $tail" error in cowsay -l output for empty (zero-cowfile) cow dirs (#50)
• Fix installation location ("prefix") detection for cases like user-defined symlinks, and align repo layout with installation prefix dir layout (#49, #55)
• Remove broken .pm cows (#54)

Fork Note

This is the first release from the cowsay-apj fork, even though this is not reflected in the internal project documentaiton. It is intended to be a trivially-adjusted re-release of the upstream project, for reference as an initial baseline.
