We are really excited to announce the new release of Spin, v0.2.0.
This release is packed with new features that simplify building and running WebAssembly components with Spin!

New features

support for creating new Spin applications using templates (https://spin.fermyon.dev/quickstart)
initial support for deploying Spin applications to Hippo (#353)
a new Go SDK for building Spin components in TinyGo (https://spin.fermyon.dev/go-components)
new mechanism for setting application and component configuration (https://spin.fermyon.dev/configuration)
new command to simplify building multi-component applications (https://spin.fermyon.dev/developing)
support for connecting to Redis from Spin components with the Rust and Go SDK (https://spin.fermyon.dev/rust-components, https://spin.fermyon.dev/go-components)
