v0.6.0

This is the first release of the 0.6 series of Minart.

As of 0.6.0, support for Scala 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13 was removed, along with the Minart Pure library (blog post with rationale).

This version also drops support for Scala Native 0.4, adding support for Scala Native 0.5. While the both single threaded modes and multi threaded modes are supported, it is recommended to use Scala Native's automatic detection.

v0.6.0-M3

This is the third (hopefully final) milestone release of the 0.6.0 version of Minart.

As of 0.6.0, support for Scala 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13 was removed, along with the Minart Pure library (blog post with rationale).

It also includes support for Scala Native 0.5.

Notice: Due to how recent Scala Native 0.5.0 is, this version might have some issues (also, the unit tests have been temporarily disabled, as munit wasn't released yet). One of the reasons to release this now was to catch errors before the final 0.6.0 release.
