Rama 0.4 Release

Rama 0.4 has been released, following the previous 0.3 version by six weeks. This update includes various improvements and addresses long-standing items from the development backlog.

Enhanced Proxy Configuration

Previously, Rama supported HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 proxies configured directly via `ProxyRoute` or environment variables like `HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, `ALL_PROXY`, and `NO_PROXY`. These methods allowed applications to define proxy settings internally or through environment variables.

With Rama 0.4, applications can now respect system-wide proxy configurations. This is achieved through the new `SystemProxyLayer`, which enables network clients built with Rama to automatically detect and use proxy settings defined at the operating system level, including HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5 proxies, and bypass rules.

Impact on Developers

The addition of system proxy support means developers using Rama no longer need to hardcode proxy settings or rely solely on environment variables for system-wide proxy adherence. This integration simplifies network configuration for applications, ensuring they align with user or system administrator-defined proxy policies without additional application-specific setup.
