This release is mostly a maintenance release. There have been a number of organisational changes to the code designed to make it easier to compile and use the Stencila C++ package. Much of the C++ implementation code has been moved out of the header .hpp files and into .cpp files. Also, we have used the Pimpl idiom to create compilation firewalls so that it not necessary to download third party headers to compile against libstencila.a. We have also added a Vagrant file and Ansible provisioning scripts to ease multi-platform builds.
Although this is a mostly about maintenance, there are some new feature thrown in. One of those is the Frame class (currently only available in C++) which provides for tabular data structures similar to R's data.frame.
