Removed requirement to install terminal_sync; updated Dockerfile

- Updated Dockerfile to export requirements.txt (to ensure platform compatibility) and install using pip rather than PDM (to reduce runtime complexity)
- Increased minimum Python version to 3.10 due to use of PEP-604 style type hinting syntax
- Reduced default timeout values as the previous ones were painfully long if something failed and would negatively impact user experience
- Minor updates to the README
- Updated CHANGELOG

+## [v0.2.0] - 2023-04-26
+
+### Added
+
+- Added a new feature to save failed (or optionally all) logs locally (as JSON files)
+- Created a script / library to export the JSON files to a GhostWriter CSV
+  - Configured the server to automatically export a CSV file on shutdown (though stopping a Docker container doesn't seem to trigger it)
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed several syntax errors in the Bash install / hook script that prevented successful installation
+
+### Changed

+- Updated Dockerfile to export requirements.txt (to ensure platform compatibility) and install using pip rather than PDM (to reduce runtime complexity)
+- Increased minimum Python version to 3.10 due to use of PEP-604 style type hinting syntax
