Wren v0.2.0 Release Notes

  • 0.2.0 spans a pretty wide time period with around 290 commits. 🛠 This includes many bug fixes, improvements, clarity in the 📚 code and documentation and so on. There's too many to explicitly list. Below is the obvious user facing stuff that was easy to spot in the history.

    Most noteworthy is that 'relative imports' are a slightly breaking change, but help pave the way forward toward a consistency for modules.
