 0.8.0
 -----
 - Added [NNX](https://github.com/google/flax/tree/main/flax/experimental/nnx#nnx), a neural network library for JAX that provides a simple yet powerful module system that adheres to standard Python semantics. Its aim is to combine the robustness of Linen with a simplified, Pythonic API akin to that of PyTorch.
