v1.2.0 (2023-05-19)

• Fixed: When both --cwd and --path were specified, they would both try to update the command's PATH environment variable, but the changes from --cwd would override the changes from --path.
• Changed: When using --cwd and --path, Shawl now simplifies local UNC paths. For example, \\?\C:\tmp becomes C:\tmp. Some programs, notably Command Prompt, don't like UNC paths, so this is intended to broaden compatibility.
• Changed: The CLI output now uses a prettier format, including color.

v1.1.1 (2022-09-16)

• Fixed --pass, --restart-if, and --restart-if-not not allowing a leading negative number.
• Fixed --pass, --restart-if, and --restart-if-not not requiring a value.
• Fixed --no-restart, --restart-if, and --restart-if-not not being marked as mutually exclusive. They had only been marked as exclusive with --restart.
