v0.3 - Python 3 Migration & Fixes

v0.3 - Python 3 Migration & Core Functionality Fixes

This release marks a significant update for the preprint utility, primarily focusing on modernizing its codebase and ensuring robust functionality.

Key Highlights:

• Python 3.10+ Compatibility: The entire codebase has been refactored for full compatibility with Python 3.10 and newer versions. Python 2.x is no longer
  supported.
• Dependency Modernization: The problematic Python 2-era paperweight dependency has been replaced. Its core functionalities (LaTeX parsing, inlining, Git
  integration) have been reimplemented using the Python 3 compatible TexSoup library.
• Enhanced make Command: The preprint make command now correctly handles the --master argument, ensuring latexmk compiles the specified main LaTeX file
  as intended.
• Troubleshooting Tip: Added guidance on using latexmk -C for resolving stubborn compilation issues.
• Improved pack Command:
• Fixed issues with figure copying, renaming, and extension detection (now supports .png and other common formats out of the box).
• Robust bibliography inlining: The pack command now correctly inlines .bbl content into the main .tex file.
• Fully Functional init Command: The preprint init command is fully operational, correctly generating preprint.json configuration files.
• Comprehensive Documentation Overhaul:
• README.md and
  CONTRIBUTING.md have been thoroughly updated to reflect Python 3 requirements, new installation
  instructions, dependency changes, and modern Markdown formatting.

Installation:

You can now install the Python 3 compatible preprint3 package via pip:

pip install preprint3
