v0.2.4: Add Security Checks: cargo-audit & cargo-deny (GitHub actions) and pre-commit hooks

[0.2.4] - 2025-09-30

Added

• GitHub action audit.yml, with audit-check and cargo-deny-action actions
  • audit.toml for local and CI cargo audit configuration
  • deny.toml for local and CI cargo deny configuration
• Pre-commit hooks, .pre-commit-config.yaml

Changed

• Updated several dependencies to newer versions.
  • cargo audit found a security vulnerability in a dependency (that version has been yanked).
• The build process for the release profile now uses the LTO optimization.
