Hi all,

We propose to release Apache Annotator (incubating) 0.2.0.

Annotator helps developers of annotation tools create their applications
without having to reinvent the wheel, while applying a standards-driven
approach based on the W3C’s Web Annotation data model
<https://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-model/>, in order to facilitate an
ecosystem of interoperable annotation tools — ideally making annotations
an integral part of the web.

These are the main changes since the previous (and first) release, v0.1.0:
- all code is converted to TypeScript
- the API is documented
- many tests have been added
- package names changed from “@annotator/…” to “@apache-annotator/…”
- a meta-package was added that includes all the others in one package
- it now supports TextPositionSelector
- it now supports CssSelector in both directions (match & describe)
- steps were made to apply text matching algorithms to other
environments than the DOM
- and many small fixes, tweaks and improvements

More details can be found in the pull requests merged since last release:
