NeXdocMan v2.7: Safe & Seamless Upgrades 🐳

Version 2.7 introduces a robust, state-aware configuration management engine. You can now safely upgrade NeXdocMan without ever losing your existing .cfg settings.

New Features:

• State-Aware Migration Engine:
  • During deployment, the script now intelligently reads your existing nexdocman.cfg file and maps your custom settings directly into the memory of the new version.
  • It securely backs up your old configuration to nexdocman.cfg.bak.
  • It generates a fresh .cfg file incorporating the new structure, features, and comments of the latest release, while perfectly preserving your previous settings (like log levels and cleanup toggles).
• Enhanced Uninstaller:
  • The uninstall_utility logic has been hardened. Running -r now strictly guarantees that all associated NeXdocMan cron jobs (both auto-cleanup and auto-image-updater) are successfully stripped from your crontab.

Bug Fixes:

• Resolved an issue where deploying an update would fail to expose new feature variables to users who already had a .cfg file.
