New Status Quo

After almost a year and a half it's time to ship a new version
Massive changes have been made since 0.4.0
So much so I cannot help people using the old version because I forget how it works

Many systems have been either gutted or redesigned
This will probably continue in future:

  • many extensions need some serious refactors (decompile, diff & editor)
  • loading from & saving to files is going to change drastically in the next version

But before making those large changes we should at least ship some stable
So here it is, v0.5.0, the New Status Quo

NOTE: changes are pulled from CHANGELOG.md, which probably misses a bunch of stuff
