+- The REPL is also noticeably nicer to use now, particularly for those of us

+- Based on community feedback, the project README was also slightly improved.

 ### Fixed
 
 ### Tests
-- Continued adding more tests for functionality being added to the system. The number of tests increased from 1586 tests in the previous release to 1911 tests in version 0.2.0. This is partly caused by [[#353][353]], which added support for the `float` data type. Each primitive data type supported requires a significant number of tests to be added for the "meta-tests" to complete; these ensure that no data types get added to the system without properly defined semantics for all operator/primitive type combinations.
