This is refreshing summer release of radare2 intended to relieve heatwave across the globe. These weeks team of radare2 developers and external contributors fixed a ton of annoying bugs in various parts of the framework. A lot of improvements and fixes were done by our beloved GSoC students. This release doesn't bring a lot of new features, focusing mostly on improving stability, interface beauty, consistency across different radare2 parts, and increasing autoanalysis precision.
