[0.1.1] — 2026-05-15

LICENSE link in README now points to GitHub instead of a relative path that broke on PyPI
License metadata updated to SPDX string format ("MIT") to comply with setuptools ≥ 77

Smart framework and language detection (Next.js, Node.js, Python, Django, FastAPI, Rust, Go, Ruby)
Automatic exclusion rules per detected ecosystem
.gitignore patterns respected automatically (--no-gitignore to bypass)
--include flag for scoping to specific directories (exact path-boundary matching)
--exclude flag for additional gitignore-style exclusion patterns
--dry-run flag to preview without creating any files
--verbose flag showing every file with its size
--output flag for custom ZIP destination
--no-clipboard flag to skip clipboard/folder-open step
Tiered clipboard strategy: file-on-clipboard (macOS/Linux), Explorer with file selected (Windows), path fallback
Warnings for large files (≥ 1 MB), binary files, and skipped files (dangling symlinks, permission errors)
Rich terminal output with panels, progress bars, and colour-coded detection results
Compression stats (ratio, size before/after) shown after ZIP creation
