We're pleased to announce a new release of the Zokrates toolbox!

Breaking features:

• Cleaner semantics around variable declaration, see here

New features:

• Unsigned integer types (u8, u16, u32) for easier processing of binary messages and implementation of bitwise-heavy algorithms
• Native SHA256 implementation (the sapling-crypto dependency was removed) at ~28k constraints
• Update of zokrates.js, now compatible with the browser and node.js
• Shorter syntax for function signatures with zero or one return value(s)
• Native verifier to check proofs in the CLI
• Update of the stdlib with conversion utils, new hash functions, etc.
• Libsnark multicore support
• Removal of the hacky raw verification key !
• Introduction of a --release flag to turn on expensive optimisations
• Book revamp

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release! 🚀 @ErikP0 @petscheit @fulldecent @dark64
