v0.2.0

This release adds several new features, fixes some bugs, and makes developer-facing improvements.

Breaking changes

• lt.ThingServer now accepts an lt.ThingServerConfig as its first argument (i.e. it has the same signature as lt.ThingServer.from_config()). To create one with a dictionary of Things, use lt.ThingServer.from_things(). There is an error message pointing to the change. #320

• It's now possible to specify an API prefix in the server configuration. #268
• Things may now opt in (using class settings) to have properties validated against their constraints (and type) when they are set from Python. #278
• Arguments used to set constraints on properties are now validated. #277
• Properties now have a default attribute in the Thing Description and JSONSchema. #273 #304
• The description of a Thing now appears in the Thing Description. #301
• There is now a summary of the public API in the docs.#307
