> Before I share with you the `changelog`, what this release version means and a preview on what we are planning to work on for the next major release `v2.0.0`. I would first like to thank all our contributors and maintainers because of whom this was all possible. Specially I would like to thank [spencerjibz](https://github.com/spencerjibz), [ddotthomas](https://github.com/ddotthomas) and [evanyang1](https://github.com/evanyang1) who have been invaluable to the project. Also, `Websurfx` would not have been possible without [alamin655](https://github.com/alamin655) and [xffxff](https://github.com/xffxff) early involvement.
