Back-incompatible changes

/ new

  • embedPy objects can be called directly without explicitly specifying the call return type, the default return type is an embedPy object

V0.1-beta -> V0.2beta in V0.2-beta

V0.2-beta features a number of changes back-incompatible with the previous release, V0.1-beta.

Most notably, the default type used in many operations is now the embedPy type, rather than the foreign type. Differences between these types (and the associated APIs) are set out below.
