Release Notes

Bug fix release: the LIVE recording view (what you watch while recording) no longer turns box-drawing text into CP437 mojibake on OEM-codepage consoles (cmd, Windows PowerShell 5.1 hosts) - the engine switches the console to UTF-8 for the recording and restores it afterwards; the cast file was always correct. Also includes the 0.2.2 fixes: recordings of byte-writing TUI applications (OpenCode and other Go/Node TUIs) bootstrap the console codepage to UTF-8; interop assembly loading is loader-managed (Import-Module -Force reuses the loaded assembly; cross-version imports get clear guidance). Fixes issues #5 and #15.
