This comprehensive README update improves the documentation structure,
updates outdated information, and provides a clearer learning path for users.
Key improvements:
- Added OWASP Flagship badge and clearer project description
- Created "What is RailsGoat?" section explaining the educational purpose
- Added comprehensive "Vulnerabilities Included" section listing all 11+ vulnerabilities
- Restructured "Quick Start" with numbered steps and clearer prerequisites
- Added "Learning Path" section with 3-step approach (tests → explore → wiki)
- Updated all outdated technical information:
* Rails 8.0 with Ruby 3.3.6 (was "3 to 6")
* Removed references to deprecated Thin, PhantomJS, and Poltergeist
* Updated Docker instructions (removed outdated docker-machine references)
* Corrected Rails version branches (added rails_5, updated main to Rails 8)
- Reorganized content flow: what → why → how → learn → advanced → contribute
- Moved "Support" to bottom with expanded help resources
- Simplified Docker and MySQL sections under "Advanced Configuration"
- Added security warning footer about not deploying publicly
- Improved formatting with bold headings and better code block examples
The new structure guides users from understanding what RailsGoat is,
through installation, to actively learning from the vulnerabilities.

1. Removed broken Travis CI build status badge from README header
2. Enhanced dropdown selection on messages page:
- Added explicit JavaScript change event handler
- Added CSS to ensure proper text color and background
- Added blur/focus to force visual update after selection
- Added console logging for debugging
This should resolve the issue where selected recipient names weren't
displaying properly in the dropdown after selection.
