This is way overdue... There's been a lot of exciting work on Johnny-Five this year and barely enough time to write posts announcing all of it! The following work and changelogs are from April, May and June of this year, so consider this a "mid-year" recap of sorts, that happens to coincide with a huge changelog update ;)
