    I want to take explicit time here to thank the wonder people who contributed these changes. Some were small and easy while others were challenging and large. They are all meaningful to me and to VCR. Those people are (in no order):

    @marshall-lee, @mcfiredrill, @aimerald, @saveriomiroddi, @bwilczek, @felipecsl, @jessedoyle, @raszi, @hdabrows, @nicolasleger, @sckott, @Mehonoshin, @willywg, @sathieu, @skryukov, @joshRpowell, @gregmolnar, @notEthan, @andrew-lewin, and @laserlemon.

    If I missed anyone I'm very sorry, you deserve credit.
