We are pleased to announce that Ibis 0.16.0 has been released!

We had a bunch of additions when it comes to handling connections, namely the `Ibis.Client::stopped` signal as well as the new `Ibis.Client.connect_async` and `Ibis.Client.connect_finish` async pair.

We also removed all existing deprecated API to start cleaning that up. Going forward, up to 1.0.0, we’re going to be removing deprecated API one minor version after it was deprecated.
