Manifold v0.2.0 Released

On behalf of the entire Manifold team, I'm super excited to announce the release of Manifold v0.2.0! The release is up on Github now, and we'll be rolling it out to our staging site later today. This release contains a number of new features and bugfixes, listed below. For the full list of revisions and pull requests, please consult the changelog.

Remember, Manifold is open source and freely available to all who are interested. While we have plans to build docker containers and OS packages, we've also written up installation instructions for all you early adopters out there. Take it for a spin and let us know how it goes. As always, we appreciate any feedback. To support our effort and motivate our development team, please take a moment to watch or star our repository on Github!
