 Going forward I will include a Release zip for love2d. I do not know why I haven't done this yet

+- Issue where setting the priority of lanes Threads were not working since we were using the data before one could have a chance to set it. This has been resolved!
 - Issue where connections object:conn() was firing based on the existance of a Type field. Now this only fires if the table contains a reference to itself. Otherwise it will connect instead of firing
 - Issue where async functions connect wasn't properly triggering when a function returned
 - Issue where async functions were not passing arguments properly.
