Full Release Notes

## What's New

This release resolves **6 open issues** and introduces several community-requested features.

### Fixed
- **#7** — `UnicodeEncodeError` on non-ASCII content. All file writes now use `encoding='utf-8'`.
- **#8** — Bypass JavaScript checks. A browser-like `User-Agent` header is now sent on all `requests.get` calls.
- **#10** — `target_content` CSS selector handling. Null `href` links are now skipped in `get_target_links`.
- **#11** — `UnboundLocalError` in `get_target_content` when no tags are found. `main_content` is now initialized to `None` and checked before `str()` conversion.

### Added
- **#9** — `exclude_paths` parameter for URL filtering. Available in `crawl()`, `get_target_links()`, `worker()`, `md_crawl()`, and the CLI (`-x` / `--exclude-paths`).
- **#20** — Configurable `heading_style` for markdownify (`ATX`, `ATX_CLOSED`, `UNDERLINE`, `SETEXT`). CLI flag: `-s` / `--heading-style`.
- **#17** — Proper `dependencies` in `pyproject.toml` (`beautifulsoup4`, `markdownify`, `requests`) enabling `uvx` support out of the box.
- Comprehensive test suite — 60 tests with 95% coverage across `__init__.py` (96%) and `cli.py` (88%).
- `dev` optional dependencies (`pytest`, `pytest-cov`) for contributors.

### Changed
- Minimum Python version bumped to 3.8.
- `pyproject.toml` now uses `[project.scripts]` instead of `[tool.poetry.scripts]`.
