Today marks the first major release since Rocket's debut a little over a month ago. Rocket v0.2 packs a ton of new features, fixes, and general improvements. Much of the development in v0.2 was led by the community, either through reports via the GitHub issue tracker or via direct contributions. In fact, there have been 20 unique contributors to Rocket's codebase since Rocket's initial introduction! Community feedback has been incredible. As a special thank you, we include the names of these contributors at the end of this article.
