As far as I know, everyone is using master, so I kind of neglected doing 
releases. I should be doing releases more frequently!

Anyway, I'm planning to do a next release soon. I just want to finish one more 
thing, and that's completing the new I/O layer with a USB backend for the Atomic 
Cobalt. That's currently still hardcoded to use libusb, which makes it 
impossible to use a custom I/O (for example on mobile).

Yes, the documentation needs a major update! A while ago, Kristaps started 
writing some manpages. So for writing documentation, it's probably best to 
continue there.

The current html output is available here:
