NexAuth Release Notes

🎉 NexAuth 0.0.1-beta3

💬 Developer Note

The project was stale for about 2 months as I was extensively testing different limbo systems to find the perfect fit for NexAuth. After thorough evaluation, I'm excited to announce that NexLimbo—specifically designed and optimized for NexAuth—has been successfully integrated into the project. This marks a significant milestone in providing seamless authentication experiences.
