The cycle of development continues! I think we have reached a pretty stable place for the 0.8.x line to be wrapped up and focus shifted to 0.9.x. If bugs are reported I will obviously be fixing those if they need to be fixed immediately but will otherwise be integrating any fixes into v0.9.0
We launched at v0.8.1 and immediately got a lot of really good feedback. Having it all collected and presented to me was very helpful to organize and knock out the work that needed to be done.
Thank you for playing!
