This is quite a big release, bringing some new features and cleaning up the API.

• explicit transaction support via ObjectBox::RunInReadTx and ObjectBox::RunInWriteTx
• Go Modules support
• add objectbox namespace to tags to align with reflect.StructTag.Get unofficial spec
• optional lazy loading on to-many relations - lazy annotation
• box additions:
  • GetMany , RemoveMany, RemoveIds, ContainsIds, RemoveIds
  • to-many relation auxiliary methods: RelationIds , RelationPut, RelationRemove, RelationReplace
• switch default/recommended go:generate entity generator command from objectbox-gogen to //go:generate go run github.com/objectbox/objectbox-go/cmd/objectbox-gogen
• quite a few internal changes, renames and other refactorings (e.g. renamed PutAll to PutMany, removed Cursor, aligned model JSON with other bindings, ...)

• Fixed macOS build and 32-bit query support.
• Minor refactoring/linter issues

As we queued up quite a few changes, we're doing a release candidate first for you to test:

• Improved relations support
• Embedded structs
• Custom value-converter to store unsupported types & structs that can't be inlined/prefixed
• Recognize and handle type aliases and named types used as entity fields
• New Box methods: CountMax(), IsEmpty(), Contains() and PutAsyncWithTimeout()
• Query support AND & OR (combine conditions)
• New Query methods: Limit, Offset
• New Query methods: Set*Params (type-based) - to run a cached query with custom parameters
• Query LT|GT|Between support for unsigned numbers
• Support numeric string ID in the entity
• Support for[]string as a field type
• Optional pass/return-by-value for slice-of-structs in the generated code
• Change strings to use hash-based instead of value-based indexes by default
• A new option to AlwaysAwaitAsync that can be enabled during initialization

• New Query API
• Box and Query do not require manual closing anymore
• Support for renaming entities and their properties using UIDs

• Fixed wrong mapping for Go types (u)int and (u)int8. Luckily we noticed this very early: if you used those types in previous versions, please delete old database files.
• Transactions are now safely aborted in case of panics

• Changed file name of generated code, e.g. file endings for model is now ".obx.go"
• Foundation for all query conditions (final query API will come with the next version)
• Put(object) now assigns the new id to the object itself
