Breaking changes:

• FiberSocketChannel and FiberServerSocketChannel are created passing a ChannelGroup rather than an AsynchronousChannelGroup; this makes them independent from the async channels API
• quasar-core is now a provided dependency for quasar-actors and quasar-galaxy rather than a compile one

New features:

• Initial Kotlin support (quasar-kotlin module)
• StrandFactory API
• Additional transforming channels for take, reduce, split operations
• ReceivePortGroup now supports additional mix-style operations
• Pipeline channel transfer utility
• Additional FiberSocketChannel.connect() with timeout
• New Java8 lambdas API for ports
• New FiniteStateMachine behavior
• getChildren in supervisor actors

Improvements:

• Faster fiber stack layout and improved fiber stack management performance
• Improved buffered channels performance
• ProxyServer performance improvement
• Migration from glib to byte-buddy
• Dependencies upgrade
