Release 0.2.0

[nirvdrum]

It looks like the 0.2.0 release won't require building the extension at all if String.method_defined?(:unicode_normalize) is true. This is a really nice benefit on modern Ruby versions. Is there anything holding up promoting the beta to a proper release?

[nomoon]

I really hope there's still a way to ensure that unf_ext can be enabled despite String.unicode_normalize being available. Ruby's built-in Unicode normalization is abysmally slow (>10x slower than unf), and unf is among the fastest available on any platform. Ever since unf was recently updated to support Unicode 9.0 (and unf_ext has followed), there should be feature parity between both implementations.

ping @knu. Or maybe even release a 1.0.0 version? This since is around for ages it really looks stable.

Please release 0.2.0 to stable. A lot of libraries need it.

[majioa]
