Full Changelog: v0.6.0...v0.7.0

Version v0.6.0

MetaSynth is now renamed to metasyn

The reason for the rename is that there is a software package called MetaSynth. Although we are doing very different things, the package will be easier to find if we rename the package.

• Imports are now metasyn instead of metasynth.
• All documentation should be updated.
• Plugins should now use metasyncontrib instead of metasynthcontrib.
• Capitalization is now also changed to lower case, unless it starts the sentence.
