v0.12 - All About Refactoring

Wechaty is starting to use the MINOR version number to indicate whether the release is STABLE or NOT since v0.12.

Numbering rule:

1. even numbers, such as 0.8, 0.12 indicated a stable release, which is fit for production use.
2. odd numbers, such as 0.11 or 0.13, represented as development releases.

See: #905
