| ## Bug fixes | |
| Always add a test for the bug in a separate commit so we can easily cherry pick | |
| it for verification. | |
| ## New features | |
| It's recommended to open an issue before sending a pull request to avoid | |
| unnecessary work. There are quite few areas we consider to be out of scope for | |
| this library. Idea is to add few generic string helpers for Javascript. For | |
| example anything related to internationalization or is too language specific | |
| is out of scope. | |
