0.18.0

Azle 0.18.0 is a complete rearchitecture of Azle. Most concepts remain the same, but there are many breaking changes in syntax and API. See the examples and The Azle Book for guidance.

Migrating from previous versions

It is best to start from scratch:

1. Delete ~/.config/azle in your home directory
2. Delete .azle in your project root directory
3. Delete .dfx in your project root directory
4. Delete node_modules in your project root directory
5. Start your replica with --clean
