the theme of this release is spooky to match the season: system dependencies. thanks so much for everyone who helped test the pre-release.

features include:
\- install packages from the system package manager pre-build
\- visualize what your binaries link against
\- statically-linked musl builds

would love to hear feedback from folks especially if you gave the tool a try on your codebase!
