Isiah Meadows 234b1c9302 Update migration, fix various minor issues
- Lot of people couldn't migrate to v1 and plan to reevaluate when v2 is
  released.
- It's "npm" not "NPM". It doesn't stand for anything, and it never
  has - it was initially chosen simply because it was easy to type.
  It has a lot of unofficial backronyms with "Node Package Manager"
  being one of the most common ones, but it's never officially stood
  for anything as an acronym *or* initialism.
- Fixed a few errors in the change log, like non-breaking changes being
  included in the "Breaking Changes" section and an inaccuracy in the
  summary of a particular change.
- Fixed RawGit URLs to point to GitHack, which is a lighter proxy that
  offloads caching to Cloudflare instead of also implementing it itself.
  (It also just uses nginx for all the important server logic, so it
  scales better.)
- Add a few more v0.2 references as appropriate

Credits

Mithril was originally written by Leo Horie, but it is where it is today thanks to the hard work and great ideas of many people.

Special thanks to:

  • Pat Cavit, who exposed most of the public API for Mithril 1.0, brought in test coverage and automated the publishing process
  • Isiah Meadows, who brought in linting, modernized the test suite and has been a strong voice in design discussions
  • Zoli Kahan, who replaced the original Promise implementation with one that actually worked properly
  • Alec Embke, who single-handedly wrote the JSON-P implementation
  • Barney Carroll, who suggested many great ideas and relentlessly pushed Mithril to the limit to uncover design issues prior to Mithril 1.0
  • Dominic Gannaway, who offered insanely meticulous technical insight into rendering performance
  • Boris Letocha, whose search space reduction algorithm is the basis for Mithril's virtual DOM engine
  • Joel Richard, whose monomorphic virtual DOM structure is the basis for Mithril's vnode implementation
  • Simon Friis Vindum, whose open source work was an inspiration to many design decisions for Mithril 1.0
  • Boris Kaul, for his awesome work on the benchmarking tools used to develop Mithril
  • Leon Sorokin, for writing a DOM instrumentation tool that helped improve performance in Mithril 1.0
  • Jordan Walke, whose work on React was prior art to the implementation of keys in Mithril
  • Pierre-Yves Gérardy, who consistently makes high quality contributions
  • Gyandeep Singh, who contributed significant IE performance improvements
