v0.3.0 - major improvements

This release marks major improvements in stella, primarily addressing its slowness.

Improvements:

• Replaces filesystem polling with the watchdog library, which uses OS-specific APIs to monitor the filesystem events. This should yield major speed-ups in big codebases.
• Replace its sleeps in the main thread to a trigger-based workflow which are handled by a separate thread - which also opens up infinite retries with the exponential backoff strategy.
• Graceful stopping of the input thread.

Features:

• Failed browser refreshes lead to retries
• Extended browser support to edge and safari
• The new rc - reload configuration command

Installation:

pipx install stellapy

If you already have it installed:

pipx upgrade stellapy
