The version 0.3.0 moved from alpha to beta phase. The changes includes refactored codebase, as well as some other features and improvements:
1. Better support for text formats, such as bold, italics, and inline code.
2. Support for other compiler, `xetex`, and `luatex` are supported, but every other compiler can be used given that it is in `PATH` and is functional and installed.
3. replacement of "latex" word with the LaTeX typeset.
4. strike through, superscript, subscript, emphasize, and underline support.
5. "Smart quotes" as well as code blocks.
6. Filename as title parameter.
7. Improved versatility of program -- the program wont raise systemexit immediately anymore after missing or errenous parameters.
Non-major changes:
1. Improved formatting of output LaTeX file.
2. Bug fixes.
3. Improved codebase, the program should now be faster, as opposed to previous one that is cluttered with code.
4. More contributor friendly since the code base is now less messy, at least for me.
5. Released in pypi for easier installation
