0.6.0 Beta 1

With so much going on, I feel a proper beta for this next release is in order. I'd like to run this through some rigorous testing before tagging the stable release.

I still want to check if #42 is still required after #39 is already merged.

Thanks a ton, @BrianHenryIE for all the help and contributions. I'll get your contributions properly attributed in the release notes once this becomes the next stable.
