v0.9.0

Hot on the heels of 0.8.0, we're pleased to announce Spin 0.9.0, which brings new features, improvements and bug fixes.

This release includes, built-in key-value storage, more flexible Redis support, UX improvements, and more.

Some highlights in 0.9.0 at a glance:

• Built-in key-value storage, designed to anticipate the corresponding WASI proposal
• A new, general-purpose execute function for running arbitrary Redis commands
• spin up now supports running apps from OCI registries
• Apps now log to stdout by default, addressing a common source of confusion for new developers
• Various template UX improvements: #1152, #1147, #1135, #1119, and #1085
• More intuitive HTTP route matching
• Updated and improved Go SDK support: #1165 and #1114. You'll want to use TinyGo 0.27 or later and Go 1.20 or later for the best experience.
