New release?

[kaitallaoua]

So i've been getting into proxmox clustering lately, and am using zfs replication for HA. Proxmox creates data@__replicate_140-0_1724996413__ snapshots for this purpose, as an example. I was surprised that v2.2.0 didn't include what must be a common request: exclude certain snaps. Further confusing is the readme is up to date, in that #699 was merged --exclude-snaps exists.

I use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sanoid which packages it nicely, but of course is on v2.2.0. In the meantime, i've downloaded the syncoid script from master and am using it no problem to get this feature. Not ideal, seems like its a good time to make a new release, if only in my biased opinion, for the --exclude-snaps feature. Again, the latest release would now match the readme.

I notice the last 3 releases schedule was roughly two years apart, I think one year is enough time to send it out :)

--delete-target-snapshots is also a big one. Currently I'm building from source which is fine but I agree a release would be nice.

It would also be nice to have the build script write the current HEAD to the --version output of the various commands.

@jimsalterjrs what are your plans for creating a new release of sanoid? there are some useful features on master. only when it's released these features will then also trickle into the distributions.
