Hi everyone!

@Wikunia and I are proud to announce the v0.2.0 release of [`Javis.jl`](https://github.com/Wikunia/Javis.jl)!🎉 🎉 🎉

 ![javis_02](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/9/2/928f593ee0e7006b0844e82fa54b9c01d158e5ef.gif)

This release greatly improves the overall process for working with Javis to create animations. ✨  
Some notable new features we added are:

- Added a live viewer to preview animations!
- Interoperability with [Animations.jl](https://github.com/jkrumbiegel/Animations.jl) (thanks Julius Krumbiegel!)
- Progress bars via [ProgressMeter.jl](https://github.com/timholy/ProgressMeter.jl) (thanks @tim.holy)
- Ability to draw animated text
- Ability to morph with `fill` or `stroke` and using `SubAction` to specify changes in color
- An object described by an `Action` can follow a path
- Revamped our tutorials

Want to learn how to use or contribute to `Javis`? Check out our [documentation](https://wikunia.github.io/Javis.jl/stable/) to see our [contributing guidelines](https://wikunia.github.io/Javis.jl/stable/contributing/) - beginners welcome! - and in-depth [tutorials](https://wikunia.github.io/Javis.jl/stable/tutorials/). And if you are just curious about `Javis`, see our [mission statement](https://wikunia.github.io/Javis.jl/stable/mission/).
