v0.4.0

What's Changed

If you are setting PyApp variables, this is a breaking change!

• Move environmental variables to their own table in pyproject.toml. They are now in [tool.box.env-vars].
• Remove PyApp Variables from initialization and put them into their own command.
• Add a new command box env in order to manage environmental variables.
  • Add box env --set KEY=VALUE to add string variables.
  • Add box env --set-int KEY=VALUE to add integer variables.
  • Add box env --set-bool KEY=VALUE to add boolean variables.
  • Add box env --get VAR_NAME to get the value of a variable.
  • Add box env --unset VAR_NAME to remove a variable.
  • Add box env --list to list all variables.
• Bug fix for box uninit: Will throw a useful error if not in a box project.

If this breaks your project, you can either run box uninit followed by box init and re-enter the variables, or you can manually edit the pyproject.toml file.
