0.18  2025-04-06
    - Moved CLI script from script/jq-lite to bin/jq-lite for MetaCPAN visibility
    - Updated Makefile.PL to include EXE_FILES => ['bin/jq-lite']
0.17  2025-04-05
    - Added --color option to jq-lite CLI script to enable colorized JSON output.
      Keys are cyan, strings green, numbers yellow, and booleans/null magenta.
    - Updated help and usage examples to reflect the new --color option.
    - Improved CLI usability by simplifying option name (from --color-output to --color).
0.16  2025-04-05
    - Added --version (-v) option to the jq-lite CLI script.
      It displays the installed version of JQ::Lite.
0.14  2025-04-05
    - Fixed: --raw-output (-r) now pretty-prints objects and arrays,
             and outputs scalars as plain text, matching jq behavior.
    - Improved: Output formatting now distinguishes between scalars and structures.
    - Updated: Interactive mode preserves output consistency with command-line usage.
0.13  2025-04-05
    - Added real-time interactive mode: users can now type queries character-by-character
      and see results update immediately without pressing Enter.
    - Retains previous valid results on incomplete or invalid query input.
    - Displays full JSON on startup in interactive mode using '.' as default query.
    - Automatically enters interactive mode when reading JSON from STDIN without a query.
    - No non-core modules required: implemented raw terminal mode using 'stty'.
0.12 2025-04-05
    [Enhancement]
    - Added fallback behavior to show help message when jq-lite is executed with no arguments.
      This prevents the script from hanging waiting on STDIN and improves user experience.
0.11  2025-04-05
    - Added interactive mode to jq-lite command-line tool
      * Launches when no query is given
      * Accepts queries from /dev/tty
      * Clears screen before printing each result
      * Supports --raw-output (-r) in interactive mode
    - Improved argument parsing to allow: jq-lite users.json
    - Enhanced usability and documentation in README.md
0.10  2025-03-30
    - Added match operator for regular expressions (e.g. match "Bob")
0.09  2025-03-30
    - Added support for case-insensitive match (e.g. match "bob"i)
    - Added limit(n) operator to restrict number of results
0.08  2025-03-29
    - Added 'has' operator: select(.meta has "key")
    - Added 'first' and 'last' operators for arrays
    - Added 'reverse' operator to reverse array order
    - JQ-compatible enhancements for improved filtering and data navigation
0.07  2025-03-29
    - Removed use of eval in _evaluate_condition for better performance and stability.
    - Refactored _traverse for readability and maintainability.
    - Added support for multi-level array traversal (e.g., .users[].friends[].name).
