Fixes #122.

Both badges at the top of the README have rendered broken for a while: travis-ci.org shut down in 2021 (CI has run on GitHub Actions since), and gocover.io is gone too.

  • The build badge now points at the Go workflow: actions/workflows/go.yml/badge.svg, linked to the workflow's runs.
  • The coverage badge is removed rather than repointed — nothing in CI produces a coverage profile today, so there is nothing to show.

Second commit: the new badge would read "failing" as things stand. GitHub retired the macos-13 runner image, so the two macos-13 matrix jobs wait 24h for a runner and are cancelled (The job has exceeded the maximum execution time while awaiting a runner for 24h0m0s); every master run since March has ended "cancelled" because of it while the other six jobs pass. macos-15-intel is GitHub's replacement for the Intel leg (macos-latest is arm64), so the matrix keeps covering both architectures and the badge goes green once this lands. Verified on my fork with this exact branch: all 8 matrix jobs pass, including both macos-15-intel legs.

If you'd like a coverage badge back, that can be a small follow-up: a -coverprofile on the ubuntu leg of the test matrix plus an upload step. (Since the issue was filed, gocov no longer needs a repo secret for that — a one-time install of its GitHub App on the account is all it takes — but that's your call and separate from this fix.)

travis-ci.org shut down in 2021 and CI has run on GitHub Actions since,
so the build badge now points at the Go workflow. gocover.io has been
gone for years too; nothing produces coverage today, so that badge is
removed rather than repointed.

Fixes rs#122
GitHub retired the macos-13 image, so both macos-13 jobs wait 24h for a

"cancelled" because of it, which is what the Actions badge reports as
failing. macos-15-intel is GitHub's replacement for the Intel leg
(macos-latest is arm64), so the matrix keeps covering both
architectures.
