After a long time this is the first new release, in the last year the team and all the (new) contributors fixed a lot of bugs.
Core does now only depend on standalone Casio library instead of the big boost dependencies. :)

Thanks to the The E-Dev, the Crow team and all the new contributors.

With this release, Crow is production ready. I'm amazed and thankful for how far this project has come and I would like to thank everyone who contributed their time, skills, and money to move this project forward.

A special thanks to Crow's newest member, @luca-schlecker. Without his work, much of this release wouldn't be possible.
