Full Release Notes

Basically a full rewrite!

Main features:

- Extracts and saves images
- Improved table formatting
- Better markdown wrapping
- Better reading order on complex docs
- Improved OCR engine with more language options
- Simple pip package install (no more required system dependencies), so can be used easily on Windows
