2. New Utilities and Features:

• TCP Client Implementation:
  • Added a simple TCP client for sending messages to localhost on port 1111, facilitating local testing.
• Environment Handlers:
  • Introduced handlers for DOZOR_SITE_KEY and DOZOR_SITE_ID environment variables for better socket configuration.
• Command Line Options:
  • Developed robust command line options processing for more flexible application configuration.

Code Refactoring:

  • Migrated message handlers to main.c for clearer structure.
  • Removed unused fields from SocketConfig and ConnectionPayload structs and cleaned up MQTT-related code.
• Modular Configuration:
  • Extracted application configuration logic into a new module, app-config.c, for better maintainability.

Bug Fixes and Stability Improvements:

• Memory Management:
  • Fixed issues with memory leaks and stalled threads in the message handling code.
• Build Process:
  • Resolved build process errors and updated Automake configurations, ensuring smoother builds.
• Improved Logging:
  • Enhanced logging features, adding debug functionality and tracking incoming packet data.

Cleanup and Maintenance:
