Changelog (Since 1.0.12)

(For Changelogs from 1.0.12-1.0.30, see ancient releases. Have to make space for newer versions)

• 1.1.8: Bugfixes. A little more than the 1.1.7 insider releases! (Renamed AdvancedList class to AdvList)
• 1.1.6: Better integration with my other project: PackageImporter. (By "better integration" i mean "grabbed all the source code from it and thus not needing you to install another 7.36MB package"). Accompanied by very minor bug fixes and some code tweaks.
• 1.1.3: Bug fix and class enhancements
• 1.1.0.1: Major bug fix on the ModuleNotFoundError while importing
• 1.1.0: Major release. Added some functions, fixed exec() logic, added @staticmethod decorator to some of the functions. Added an additional file for detecting GPU info. Renamed some function/class names.
