Release notes for Resource Surveillance (surveilr) 0.31.0

Bug Fixes

Issue: A blocker bug in the surveilr shell caused unnecessary increases in the file size of RSSDs. Running the same idempotent, e.g. package.sql.ts file multiple times in SQLite left the database unchanged, but doing so in the surveilr shell dramatically increased file sizes.
Impact: The larger the RSSD, the worse the issue became. This was particularly problematic for idempotent scripts.
Short-Term Fix: The migration SQL script execution was prevented from running on every execution, which has stopped the unnecessary file size increases.
Long-Term Solution: Fully working migration code will be available in the next release.

New Support Added: The ingestion process now supports additional file formats:
- PDF (.pdf)
- PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx)
- Word Documents (.doc, .docx)
- Excel Files (.xls, .xlsx)

Issue: There was no clear way to query and retrieve the latest file content from the uniform_resource table, especially after reverting a file to a previous state. Additionally, the updated_at field remained empty for all entries, making it difficult to track file version updates.
Fix: The bug was fixed by adding the updated_at field in the ON CONFLICT query part, ensuring proper tracking of file version updates.
