### Features

- **Improved Monitor Evaluation Functions**

    - Replaced unsafe `eval()` with secure `Function()` constructors across all monitor types
    - Added support for using modules (like cheerio) directly in evaluation functions

- **Enhanced API Monitors**

    - Raw response data is now passed directly to eval functions instead of base64 encoded
    - Added `modules` parameter with access to cheerio for HTML parsing
    - Updated default evaluation function to use the new parameter structure

- **Improved TCP & Ping Monitors**

    - Simplified evaluation functions with direct access to ping/TCP data
    - Removed unnecessary base64 encoding/decoding steps
    - Better error handling for invalid evaluation functions

- **Documentation Updates**
    - Updated all examples and documentation for the new evaluation function signatures
    - Added more detailed explanations of input parameters
    - Improved examples showing usage with the new parameter structure

### Breaking Changes

- **Monitor Evaluation Functions**
    - Custom evaluation functions will need to be updated to the new parameter structure
    - API monitors: `(statusCode, responseTime, responseRaw, modules)` instead of `(statusCode, responseTime, responseDataBase64)`
    - TCP/Ping monitors: `(arrayOfPings)` instead of `(responseDataBase64)`

### Fixes

- Fixed "cheerio is undefined" errors in API monitor evaluations
- Improved error handling and logging for monitor evaluation failures
- Security enhancements by removing `eval()` usage

### Migration

If you're using custom evaluation functions in your monitors, you'll need to update them to the new format:

#### API Monitors

```javascript
// Old format
;(async function (statusCode, responseTime, responseDataBase64) {
    const resp = atob(responseDataBase64)
    // Your logic here
})
```

```javascript
// New format
;(async function (statusCode, responseTime, responseRaw, modules) {
    // responseRaw is the direct response - no need to decode
    // Access cheerio with modules.cheerio
    // Your logic here
})
```

#### TCP/Ping Monitors

```javascript
// Old format
;(async function (responseDataBase64) {
    let arrayOfPings = JSON.parse(atob(responseDataBase64))
    // Your logic here
})
```

```javascript
// New format
;(async function (arrayOfPings) {
    // arrayOfPings is directly available - no need to decode
    // Your logic here
})
```

    - Cron jobs are now dynamically added and removed based on active monitors.
    - Ensures jobs are triggered in the correct order and prevents duplicate incidents.

- **Monitor Component Improvements**
    - Refactored monitor component for better data display and interaction.
    - Improved uptime calculations.
    - Added a dropdown to select time ranges for better visibility.

### Fixes & Improvements
