 # Change Log
 
+## 0.2.4
+
+- Enhance `Kernel#puts` & `Kernel#p` to enable printing any native JS object with `console.log` (without having to manually wrap with `Native`)
+- Support Content Data-Binding from inside a `Glimmer::Web::Component`
+
+## 0.2.3
+
+- Ensure that setting `element.class_name=classnameval` does not override its Glimmer built-in CSS classes
+- Alias `Kernel#p` as `Kernel#pi` (puts inspect) to allow using `pi` in place of `p` for printing inspected objects given that `p` is used up by the HTML DSL.
+- Remove `element` from dynamic part of Glimmer DSL to allow it to fail faster if an invalid HTML element name was used
+- Fix use of `span` keyword under `p`, fixing Hello, Paragraph! sample.
+
 ## 0.2.2
 
 - Fix bug in content data-binding that was caused by recent performance optimizations (+ fix Hello, Content Data-Binding! sample)

 [Glimmer DSL for Web](https://rubygems.org/gems/glimmer-dsl-web) intuitively supports both Unidirectional (One-Way) Data-Binding via the `<=` operator and Bidirectional (Two-Way) Data-Binding via the `<=>` operator, incredibly simplifying how to sync View properties with Model attributes with the simplest code to reason about.

+description: Glimmer DSL for Web (Ruby in the Browser Web Frontend Framework) enables
+  building Web Frontends using Ruby in the Browser, as per Matz's recommendation in
+  his RubyConf 2022 keynote speech to replace JavaScript with Ruby. It aims at providing
+  the simplest, most intuitive, most straight-forward, and most productive frontend
+  framework in existence. The framework follows the Ruby way (with DSLs and TIMTOWTDI)
+  and the Rails way (Convention over Configuration) in building Isomorphic Ruby on
+  Rails Applications. It provides a Ruby HTML DSL, which uniquely enables writing
+  both structure code and logic code in one language. It supports both Unidirectional
   (One-Way) Data-Binding (using <=) and Bidirectional (Two-Way) Data-Binding (using
   <=>). Dynamic rendering (and re-rendering) of HTML content is also supported via
   Content Data-Binding. And, modular design is supported with Glimmer Web Components.
-  You can finally live in pure Rubyland on the Web in both the frontend and backend
-  with Glimmer DSL for Web! This library relies on Opal Ruby.
+  Many samples are demonstrated in the Rails sample app (there is a very minimal Standalone
+  [No Rails] sample app too). You can finally live in pure Rubyland on the Web in
+  both the frontend and backend with Glimmer DSL for Web! This gem relies on Opal
+  Ruby.
