0.11.0 - Major Changes

• Completely new A* search algorithm which is significantly faster than BFS
• Cipher identification heuristics module to aid in A* search
• Brand new English checker with much more improved accuracy
• 2 new decoders

Basically I spent a significant amount of time rewriting the search algorithm to be super efficient and writing the new English checker.

Also, Ares can now detect passwords in plaintext like passw0rd etc.
