v2.0

Releasing DBOS TypeScript V2.0

Major Changes

• Major API simplification by automatically handling workflow contexts. Any decoratable TypeScript function can now be a workflow or step.
• Support for instantiating DBOS in any Node environment, including inside apps built with popular web frameworks like Express or Next.js.
• New templates that highlight durable execution, including dbos-node-starter (built with Express) and dbos-nextjs-starter (built with Next.js).
• Full support for durable workflow queues. Documentation: https://docs.dbos.dev/typescript/tutorials/queue-tutorial
• A "database wizard" that walks users through the steps in connecting to Postgres.
