This is a refresh to alpha release for Temporal. We still have a few planned breaking changes in pipeline so please do not use it for production workload.

Release Highlights

1. Temporal now has support for TLS configuration. Please checkout doc to learn more. Support for TLS in tctl and temporal-web is still in-progress.
2. Simplified workflow execution timeouts. Now all timeouts are optional. Each workflow execution now has 3 timeouts: WorkflowExecutionTimeout, WorkflowRunTimeout, and WorkflowTaskTimeout.
3. Removed ExpirationInterval from RetryPolicy. Instead WorkflowExecutionTimeout is used to stop retries.
4. All payloads (workflow input, activity input, etc) send to Temporal now have both headers and data fields.
