New Version Number Format
We were previously stepping through incremental minor and patch numbers. In an effort to better reflect the dependence upon upstream MicroPython, the Major and Minor (1.18) version numbers now reflect the MicroPython release version.
The Patch version will continue to reflect incremental changes to the library, including bugfixes, newly supported device and so on.
New Contributors
- @SamStudio8 made their first contribution in #241
