This pull request introduces the initial development release of PresenceForge (v0.1.0-dev), a cross-platform Rust library for Discord Rich Presence integration. The changes focus on updating documentation, improving API clarity, and preparing the project for broader usage and publication. Key updates include versioning and edition changes, documentation improvements, API consistency, and the addition of a changelog.

Project setup and release preparation

• Updated Cargo.toml to set the version to 0.1.0-dev, changed the Rust edition to 2024, and added author and description metadata.
• Added a comprehensive changelog for v0.1.0-dev, detailing core features, testing, and feature flags.

Documentation improvements

• Updated README.md to reflect the new version, clarify development status, and add a crates.io badge. Improved feature listing and usage examples for both synchronous and async APIs. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
• Revised all code examples and references in documentation (docs/ACTIVITY_BUILDER_REFERENCE.md, docs/API_REFERENCE.md, docs/ASYNC_RUNTIMES.md, docs/ERROR_HANDLING.md) to use the namespaced sync::DiscordIpcClient and clarify the party API. Improved error-handling and async runtime guides. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23]

API consistency and clarity

CI configuration

• Removed the pull_request trigger from the GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/basic-ci.yml), leaving only push and workflow_dispatch triggers.
