The new version is done, and due to a few small breaking changes it's a major version.
The headline feature this time is a complete builtin parser engine so it's independent of OS-level Python and no longer has any requirement to install Python, PyPy or cffi.
Shortly behind that is an option for interactive test debugging; passing -d to plz test or plz cover now allows it to break into an interactive debugger on test failure. This only works on one test at a time and currently only for Python (using pytest), C and C++ (where it breaks into gdb on faults).
Thanks to everyone who contributed, made suggestions & reviewed changes!
