Work on v. 0.2.1 officially begins today

It’s January first, so it’s time to start working on the next release. v. 0.2.1 is the development release; v. 0.2.2 will be the release that ships near end of 1Q as a release candidate and then finalized.

Features for this release are given in Milestone 2 of the schedule posted here.

Work actually began on this release several weeks ago. So far, this much has happened:

  • URLs can now be embedded into docs
  • More symbols and special characters added
  • HTML plugin sketched out

The work this quarter will be a long sprint, but after the long delay in rewriting Platypus, we’re committed to quickly rolling out the long-awaited features!
