v0.2

ASPL v0.2 ✔️ 🥳

Version 0.2 is the second proper release of the ASPL programming language. It culminates all changes since version 0.1, published on July 7th 2024, and thus includes everything that has changed in the language since it has been open-sourced.

The changelog is long, but some of the highlights of ASPL v0.2 are:

• A new sqlite standard library module that wraps around the original SQLite3 C library and makes it super simple to build and evaluate complex database queries with optimal performance & security
• Support for regular TCP sockets in the internet module of the standard library (in addition to WebSockets that were already supported before)
• Several important optimizations and performance improvements (faster JSON decoding, more compiler optimizations, ...)
• New GitHub issue templates based on "GitHub Issue Forms"
• Improved documentation and contributing guidelines
• Tons of bug and typo fixes
• ...

The next release is going to be v0.3 - and there's already a roadmap for it! 🚀
