Release Notes

# 0.2.0-Alpha

♻ Rewrote all cmdlets as Binary Cmdlets.

While this might be considered unnecessary, it has resulted in less memory
usage and faster execution. Additionally, several type system "hacks" were
fixed with this move. As an example a properly typed dictionary can be given to
`Push-Environment`

✨ Added Several Convenience Cmdlets

- `Get-LDLibraryPath`
- `Get-PkgConfigPath`
- `Get-PSModulePath`
- `Get-PythonPath`
- `Get-SystemPath`

These all return well known environment variables. `Get-SystemPath` refers to
the `${env:PATH}` variable. There are also `Update-` versions of each.

- `Update-LDLibraryPath`
- `Update-PkgConfigPath`
- `Update-PSModulePath`
- `Update-PythonPath`
- `Update-SystemPath`

✨ Added `Import-Environment` cmdlet

This is currently underpowered (hence the 0.2.0-Alpha), but it is currently
capable of importing JSON files into a user's environment. Soon we will support
PowerShell's PSD1 format, and .env files as well.

🚚 Renamed several cmdlets and reorganized operations.

* `Get-EnvironmentVariable -AsPath` is now `Get-EnvironmentPath`
* Likewise, `Set-EnvironmentVariable -AsPath` is now `Set-EnvironmentPath`
* Update-EnvironmentVariable will now error if the environment variable does
  not exist

🔥 Removed builtin Aliases.

These could easily clash and users should alias cmdlets themselves. We aren't
Microsoft, so providing aliases should be done in a user's profile.

# 0.1.1

🐛 Fix output showing up when updating an environment variable
🐛 Fix inability to deduplicate environment variables
✨ The path to a file can now be added. It's directory will be used instead.

# 0.1.0

Initial release!
