1.30.0

This release adds improved exception handling, various bugfixes, more consistent colors, ext4 fsck, and multiline strings for bash script definitions, allow command timeouts to be set globally.

mount_wait/rootwait options are deprecated, as this is the default behavior. Importantly, pressing enter while waiting for devices triggers a failure at runtime, allowing a user to quickly enter the recovery console if devices cannot be detected.
