ZPL2PDF: versionet e vjetra dhe historiku

What's New in v3.0.0:

🎉 Major Release - Labelary Integration & TCP Server

🎨 Labelary API Integration:
• High-fidelity ZPL rendering with exact Zebra printer emulation
• Vector PDF output (smaller, higher quality files)
• Automatic batching for 50+ labels with PDF merging
• Smart fallback: tries Labelary first, falls back to BinaryKits if offline

🖨️ TCP Server Mode (Virtual Printer):
• Acts as a TCP printer on configurable port (default: 9101)
• Perfect for integration with applications that send ZPL directly to printers
• Runs independently from daemon mode (both can run simultaneously)
• Background operation with foreground debug mode

🔤 Custom Font Support:
• Load TrueType/OpenType fonts from directory or map specific font IDs
• Support for multiple font mappings
• Perfect for branded label designs

📁 Extended File Support:
• Added support for .zpl and .imp file extensions
• All extensions (.txt, .prn, .zpl, .imp) now supported

📝 Custom Output File Naming:
• Control output PDF filenames directly from ZPL code
• Use ^FX FileName: MyLabel in ZPL for custom naming
