on GitHub

This release contains a bunch of small changes such as improvements to serial output, various compiler improvements, and the addition of TinyGo versions of the net and crypto/rand packages. The net package isn't complete, it is a work in progress and will eventually allow for plugging in different network stacks.

When it comes to board support, this release has one significant addition: the RP2040 chip developed by the Raspberry Pi foundation used on boards from some vendors. It also adds support for two new nRF52840-based boards.
