- current published version: `0.2.0`

## Release themes so far

The current repository evolution has concentrated on four themes:

1. Core Mustache capability
2. Evidence and compatibility
3. Public-facing demonstration
4. Long-term maintainability

## What makes `0.2.0` meaningful

`0.2.0` builds on the usable `0.1.0` base and adds:

- complete core and optional upstream fixture parity (`194 / 194`)
- structured diagnostics, lint, and render resource limits
- deterministic differential testing against `mustache.js`
- an enforced core coverage threshold with machine-readable reports
- four-backend CI and a dedicated Windows regression job
- a Vue playground executing the MoonBit-compiled engine directly in the browser

## Next release direction

If the project continues beyond the current competition stage, likely follow-up release themes include:

- richer benchmark history across versions
- more external adoption examples
- more automation around upstream fixture sync
- continued tightening of diagnostics and release notes
