30 revolutions around the sun

Today I am thrilled to announce a major milestone update — v30.0! 🎉🥳

Still some bug fixes to go, but I feel confident this decade will bring improved stability, reliability, and performance. 🦾

Thanks to all who have contributed to making this life cycle great!

New features include:
  • baby
  • house
  • dad responsibilities 
This release is backward compatible with v2X.X but v1X.X is no longer supported.
