+
+* Simplification of `RubySingleThreadExecutor`
+* `Async` improvements
+  - Each object uses its own `SingleThreadExecutor` instead of the global thread pool.
+  - No longers supports executor injection
+  - Much better documentation
+* `Atom` updates
+  - No longer `Dereferenceable`
+  - Now `Observable`
+  - Added a `#reset` method
+* Brand new `Agent` API and implementation. Now functionally equivalent to Clojure.
