0.26.0

With a very high degree of confidence, Azle's APIs are now stable in preparation for the 1.0 release.

Many breaking changes have been introduced in this release to prepare for the 1.0 release and to harmonize with best practices from the System API and the Rust CDK. You can click on any of the PR links below with the suffix (breaking changes) for more information on each breaking change.
