Bump to version 0.10.1

Add a script for building minimal static toxic
The intention is that JFreegman would run it locally on his machine for every Toxic release and publish the build artifacts on GitHub for download, similarly to how the qTox team makes release builds. This should mitigate the loss of the Jenkins build server to some extent, which used to provide Toxic builds before.

Maxim Biro	b37e28c2d0	Add a script for building minimal static toxic The intention is that JFreegman would run it locally on his machine for every Toxic release and publish the build artifacts on GitHub for download, similarly to how the qTox team makes release builds. This should mitigate the loss of the Jenkins build server to some extent, which used to provide Toxic builds before.	2021-01-19 21:48:51 -05:00
Maxim Biro	973e60ef11	Fix Makefile assignment bug When a user provides variable=value as an argument to make, all assignments to that variable are ignored within the Makefile because the user has explicitly overrode variable to be "value". This made the ENABLE_ASAN assignment to be ignored, resulting in Toxic always enabling ASAN unless you run `make ENABLE_ASAN=disabled`, which is not documented and not how it's intended to work. This can be fixed by prefixing the assignment with "override", but to be in line with other argument assignments we just change the variable name.
