In this release we have a whole lot of nice features contributed by our users. Special shout out to @visualfc who contributed support for the standard embed package (and a few other things!) and to @tomconnell-wf who rewrote the entire map implementation based on the faster ES 2015 native Map type.

In the mean time, the work on generics is still progressing (albeit slower than we hoped it would) and we are planning to make a new stable release as soon as it is completed.
