Get most of HSTR by configuring it with:

```bash
hh --show-configuration >> ~/.bashrc
hstr --show-configuration >> ~/.bashrc

Run `hh --show-configuration` to determine what will be appended to your Bash profile. Don't forget
to source `~/.bashrc` to apply changes.

* Released v2.0.0 - Major release which resolves confusing hstr/hh ambuiguity by choosing
hstr to be the only name used - hh becomes just a shell alias. It also introduces backward
incompatible changes: all HH_ starting environment variables are changed to HSTR_, similarly
configuration files and distributions package names. Also identifiers used in HSTR_CONFIGURATION
were changed (please check man page and update your 1.x.x configuration).
Additional improvements: all memory leaks fixed, Bash autocomplete added.
