v2.0.0: Unleashing Pattern Lab 2 for Mustache

It's been a long wait but Pattern Lab 2 for Mustache is now out. For the most part a Pattern Lab 1 project should work with minimal changes in Pattern Lab 2. Here is a non-exhaustive list of new features in Pattern Lab 2:

• complete rebuilding of core

• support for JSON/YAML linting to find errors
• can set multiple classes using the style modifier
• can use link.[pattern-name] within data to link to other patterns

• upgraded console utility
• patterns and pattern subtypes can be documented in the styleguide by using [pattern-name].md or [pattern-subtype].md
• view all pages for pattern sub-types

v1.1.0: Pattern Lab 1

This release wraps up all of the minor changes that have been made to Pattern Lab 1 since the last release in August 2014.

v1.0.0: Semantically Versioned

Pattern Lab is now using semantic versioning for release versioning. This is being done for two reasons. The first is an acknowledgment that Pattern Lab is being used by a number of people in production environments. The second reason is that the next release will break backwards compatibility and we want to be able to clearly convey that. There are no real differences between v0.7.12 of Pattern Lab and v1.0.0.
