Myst v0.6.1 is mostly a patch release to support external tooling, namely the new version manager (mtenv), and documentation viewer projects.

mtenv is an rbenv-inspired version manager for Myst that simplifies installing, using, and switching between multiple versions of the interpreter. It is now the recommended way of installing Myst on any system. Check it out at https://github.com/myst-lang/mtenv. Also check ou the "Installation" section of the README for how to install this and any other new version of Myst.

myst-docs (as it's known for now) is a generic documentation viewer for Myst projects, available at https://myst-lang.github.io/myst-docs/. It is powered by the new --docs tool built into the Myst CLI, which generates a JSON blob from a given file/folder. The documentation viewer then parses that JSON on-the-fly to generate the site. While it only supports the Myst project for now, the hope is to expand this to be available for any Myst project, similar to https://hexdocs.pm for Elixir projects.

Also in the past month, @Jens0512 joined the project to help manage the various tooling projects for Myst, primarily with mtenv. Welcome aboard :)
