Version v0.2.0 of [AstroLib.jl](https://github.com/JuliaAstro/AstroLib.jl) has been tagged. This is the first release featuring the [work](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/6364832820363264/#5088075618189312) made by Kumar Prasun (@TestSubjector) during last Google Summer of Code, under the umbrella of [OpenAstronomy](http://openastronomy.org/gsoc/gsoc2017/). Kumar ported several astronomical routines from IDL AstroLib. We also worked to improve the performance of many functions, mostly thanks to the use of `StaticArrays.jl`.
