Full Changelog: v1.2.0...v1.2.5

v1.2.0

The main improvement that this release brings is a complete refactoring of the Zig engine that is used by the book to compile and run every Zig code example exposed across the book.

This refactoring actually brings some important improvements for the Zig engine, which are:

• greatly improve readability and code organization in the Zig engine.
• reduce the risk for bugs.
• adds documentation to the Zig engine source code.
• adds a much better error report. In other words, now is much better to understand the error messages that are generated during the compilation process of the book.

What's Changed

• Big refactoring on the Zig engine used by the book by @pedropark99 in #98
• Fix issue on while loop reported at #97
• Fix duplicated results from stderr by @pedropark99 in #99
