v0.28.0
This release announcement is also available on the Fornjot website
Last week, I wrote that I might be in the middle of a breakthrough, in regards to cleaning up the object construction code (#1249). Work is still ongoing, but so far there's every indication that my optimism was warranted, and I have indeed found the solution to the biggest problem that I've been battling with for the last months!
I still need to wrap this up, but I expect that won't take much longer now. I've posted an update in the issue that summarizes the current state and what's next.
Meanwhile, @danieleades has improved the codebase by fixing some non-default Clippy lints, and @zthompson47 addressed a potentially confusing error condition, by making sure there's a proper error message, if the RUST_LOG environment variable can't be parsed.
