Pixel v0.7 Release Notes
Release Date: 2018-02-20 // about 6 years ago-
🚀 Almost a year ago, Pixel 0.6 was released. It's time for a new release!
So, let me introduce to you, the one and only Pixel 0.7.
This version is mostly an iterative update, an evolution upon Pixel 0.6, not a revolution. However, quite a few changes accumulated since 0.6. One big thing is audio. It's been around for a while, but only now we are announcing it officially. Let's get to the changes!

Looking for contributors!
I made the original Pixel with though and care and I think we ended up with a decent library. Since then, I've moved on to other things and Pixel is no longer my main focus. But, there's still a lot of room for improvements. That's why I invite anyone who's interested to help Pixel thrive! Your contributions will be highly appreciated by me as well as many users of Pixel all around the world every day. Check out the short CONTRIBUTING guide to get started!
