2.2.0
  * bugfix: workaround for Microsoft Telnet client crash on
    ``SB NEW_ENVIRON SEND``, #24. Server now defers ``DO
    NEW_ENVIRON`` until TTYPE cycling identifies the client, skipping it
    entirely for MS Telnet (ANSI/VT100).
  * bugfix: in handling of LINEMODE FORWARDMASK command bytes.
  * bugfix: SLC fingerprinting byte handling.
  * bugfix: send IAC GA (Go-Ahead) after prompts when SGA is not negotiated.
    Fixes hanging for MUD clients like Mudlet. PTY shell uses a 500ms idle
    timer. Use ``--never-send-ga`` to suppress like old behavior.
  * performance: with 'smarter' negotiation, default ``connect_maxwait``
    reduced from 4.0s to 1.5s.
  * performance: both client and server protocol data_received methods
    have approximately ~50x throughput improvement in bulk data transfers.
  * new: ``Server`` class returned by ``create_server()`` with
    ``wait_for_client()`` method and ``clients`` property for tracking
    connected clients.
  * new: ``TelnetWriter.wait_for()`` and ``wait_for_condition()``
    methods for waiting on telnet option negotiation state.
  * new: ``telnetlib3.sync`` module with blocking (non-asyncio) APIs:
    ``TelnetConnection`` for clients, ``BlockingTelnetServer`` for servers.
  * new: ``pty_shell`` module and demonstrating ``telnetlib3-server --pty-exec`` CLI argument
    and related ``--pty-raw`` server CLI option for raw PTY mode, used by most
    programs that handle their own terminal I/O.
  * new: ``guard_shells`` module with ``--robot-check`` and ``--pty-fork-limit``
    CLI arguments for connection limiting and bot detection.
  * new: ``fingerprinting`` module for telnet client identification and
    capability probing.
  * new: ``--send-environ`` client CLI option to control which environment
    variables are sent via NEW_ENVIRON. Default no longer includes HOME or
    SHELL.
* --connect-timeout, closes #30
* threw in typing fixes, too!
