This kernel version series marks one of the biggest major releases in the history of the first-generation API. It adds so many exciting features and groundbreaking improvements.
Version 0.0.12.0
This version was out on November 6, 2020. It re-imagined how the kernel looks like, as well as how it functions. It also marked as the era of configuration, because the built-in configuration tool (settings command) was made.
