Release v0.43: Major features and enhancements This release introduces a major hardware sanitize feature compliant with NIST 800-88 guidelines, enhancing data destruction capabilities for modern SSDs and NVMe drives.

Merge pull request #815 from PartialVolume/fix-out-of-bounds-checking-for-graphs Fix out-of-bounds graph rendering and sub-zero temperature tracking
Fix out-of-bounds graph rendering and sub-zero temperature tracking * Fix graph rendering when temperature or speed data exceeds limits. Previously, one invalid dataset hid both graphs entirely. Now, valid data plots normally, while the out-of-bounds graph displays its axes with a "DATA OUT OF BOUNDS" message. * Remove redundant "OUT OF BOUNDS" errors from nwipe_log, as the status is now communicated visually on the graph. * Extend temperature tracking down to -20°C (previously ignored values below 1°C). * Map NO_TEMPERATURE_DATA (1000000) hardware readings to 0. The graph drawing engine now intercepts an all-zero array to render a "NO TEMPERATURE DATA" message rather than plotting a flatline at zero.
