About Huly
Huly ships near-weekly builds, but its release notes say almost nothing about what changed.
Huly's GitHub releases are a steady run of s0.7.x tags, roughly one every few days through July, each published as a bare 'merge develop' note. The only titled entries are a package update and a test fix. Readers get a cadence signal, not a feature signal.
