[0.2.0] – 2025-06-01

Added

• New .load <file> command to execute external batch files from within the REPL.
• Added .clear meta-command to clear the terminal screen using os.system("clear").
• Added .reload meta-command to re-execute the original --file init file.
• Added CLI option --run to execute a single command before entering interactive mode.
• Added CLI option --file to preload an init file (now also accessible via .reload).
• Tab completion now supports meta-commands (.help, .exit, etc.).
• Comment lines (starting with #) and empty lines are skipped in file loading.
• History recall improved: commands like !3 replace their entry correctly.
• GenericREPL now exposes a reusable load_file() method shared by .reload, .load, and --file.

Changed

• All file-based command executions (--file, .reload, .load) now use a unified logic with consistent behavior and error reporting.
• Errors raised by interpreter evaluation are now caught and reported per line (with file context where applicable).
• The REPL now exits gracefully on EOF and keyboard interrupts, and prints user-friendly messages.

Fixed

• .reload previously printed a "not implemented" message; it now functions as expected.
• .load used to evaluate only the last line due to indentation bug — now fixed.
• Unit tests for .meta commands were missing — now included and fully passing.
• test_keyboard_interrupt and test_eof_exit now simulate real conditions correctly and avoid infinite loops.

Development

• Source code reorganized into src/ layout for modern packaging.
• Makefile targets for install, format, lint, and test.
• Switched to pyproject.toml for all configuration (no longer using setup.cfg).
• Editable installs now use pip install -e .[dev] (PEP 660 compliant).
• README now documents full usage, development, and integration of custom interpreters.
