Next browser 1.2.0 is out

I'm happy to announce that we've just released Next browser version 1.2.0! (https://next.atlas.engineer/) While some important features are still missing in this alpha (e.g. Download support and VI-style bindings), it's now much more mature and usable.

It is also significantly more hackable than before, with some examples of interactivity with external process (here Emacs) put on display in the following article:
