This is a minor release with some new functionalities and a small breaking change. The main focus is _performance_ and improve overall memory usage.

### BREAKING CHANGES

* The symbol `aes` now requires min to be compiled with `-d:ssl`.

### New Features

* By default, nimble builds are no longer statically linking other libraries.
* Removed acyclic pragmas and now successfully compiling with `--mm:orc` for better memory management.

### Fixes and Improvements

* Ensured that all the relevant procs are gcsafe.
* No longer using ref for `MinValue` objects.
* No longer performing a deep copy when dequoting.
* Optimized the way debug information is stored to reduce memory usage.
* Avoiding creating unnecessary scopes when possible (withScope macro already creates a scope).
* Fixed `setSigil` incorrectly calling `setSymbol`.
* Improved handling of hash bang.
* No longer using (unoptimised) tail-recursion for symbol resolution, now doing iterative lookups.
