WoW Emulation

Real life commitments kept us busy but we are finally ready to open shop.

As of today, https://github.com/wowemulation-dev is ready for fun and adventures in the World of Warcraft and it's various incarnations.

In the last days we ended our research into old WoW releases, and we are now in the final hours of releasing a Rust based library that let's you read, write, and convert all archive and data files from WoW 1.x to 5.x and back.

The name is `warcraft-rs` and there will be crates for the good stuff!

Currently we have crates for ADT, WDL and WDT file formats, as well as M2, WMO and DBC files.

Initially the crates will basically allow you to inspect, validate, convert these files, and if you are brave you can use these to render the world too. Further updates to follow during the day.
