v0.4.0

Release Notes 0.4.0

• Breaking: removed SVG support/dependency; .svg dropped from supported extensions and docs (imageconvert/imageconvert.py, pyproject.toml, README.md).
• Batch conversion overhaul: streaming generator option, multi-process workers, progress callbacks, and smarter skip_existing that reprocesses newer sources while keeping directory structure (imageconvert/imageconvert.py).
• PDF/image handling tweak: uses ImageReader buffer when writing PDFs to avoid ReportLab issues; docstrings/examples trimmed (imageconvert/imageconvert.py).
• CI/CD: workflow now grants write perms and auto-creates GitHub releases for tags, uploading build artifacts (.github/workflows/workflow.yml).
• Docs/versioning: README updated for streaming/parallel batch usage; version bumped to 0.4.0 in pyproject.toml and imageconvert/__init__.py.

# Get metadata info of an image
info = ImageConvert.get_image_info("photo.jpg")
print(info["camera"], info.get("gps"))
