0.3.3 / 2024-01-23

• Switch to using require_relative to improve load-times.

0.3.2 / 2022-12-02

• Ensure all character Strings within the Chars character sets are encoded as ASCII-8bit. This prevents transcoding issues when calling Chars::ASCII.random_string(length).
• Changed Chars::CharSet#initialize to encode bytes greater than 256 as UTF-8. Otherwise, bytes less than 256 will be encoded as ASCII-8bit.

0.3.1 / 2022-12-01

• Removed the space character from Chars::PUNCTUATION, as spaces are not technically a punctuation character.
• Removed \f, \n, \r, \t, and \v from Chars::PRINTABLE, as other whitespace characters besides space (' ') are not considered printable characters.
