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.
