I am very happy to see so many improvements to the whole F# stack get a big round of improvements this release. Particularly in the compiler and IDE tooling improvements.

Yeah, there are four standout features for me in this release:

* resumable code for computation expressions - zero-overhead, ergonomic state machines that are user-extensible! really excited to see what folks dream up with this.

* overloading computation expressions members - another great enhancement for using CE's for task-specific DSLs

* enhancements to debugging to make stepping through pipelines muuuuuuch friendlier

* relaxing the indentation rules to make them much more natural for a whole host of expressions

just really solid, feel-good features in this release. Let's keep 'em coming!
