Released v1.97.0 of doctl, the official DigitalOcean CLI. This release updates the default behavior of the doctl registry login command to set a 30-day expiry for the registry API token that is created when logging in.

To create a registry API token that does not expire, you can set the new --never-expire flag to true. To set a different expiry time than the default 30 days, you can set the --expiry-seconds flag to an integer representing the number of seconds until the token should expire.

This also adds support for interacting with uptime checks via doctl. Please see the doctl monitoring uptime command reference for more information.
