Let's have a new release

@rastapasta
A lot has changed since the last release. Many dependencies changed, lots of bugs have been fixed.
Can we have a new release with an update of telnet and NPM release?

Also, is there a way for us to update the map data? The tiles have not been updated since I started mapping three years ago.

Aloha @jaller94 and thanks for reaching out!

Sure, am happy to bump a fresh release any time - the latest version on NPM actually still serves the CoffeeScript version (same as the telnet server runs) 🙈

Also would be more than happy about fresh map data (though not high prioritized for me) - and its actually not that much of work needed:

• move on to openmaptiles (osm2vectortiles successor) (or better solution?)
  • their last public version is also dated 2017
  • recent versions pretty pricey
  • we might be able to communicate a deal, they used MapSCII in their talking slides a lot as an example of what their data makes possible ;)
• adapt styles and logic (basically only render order) to openmaptile's new layer scheme

[x] adding release tag (v0.2.0)
[x] pushing fresh version to npm

also added a note how to use npx to the readme

Aaand another one (v0.3.0) with @quincylvania's beautiful zoom improvement :)

The map data is still very old. Multiple streets have been renamed in my city, but I still see the old names in mapscii.me, and some outdated store names.
