v9.0.9 release

We are happy to announce the release of version 9.0.9 of D++! The 9.0.9 release has some major new features bundled within it. The main features of this release are:

• D++ now has full support for ETF websocket protocol (a binary protocol which is much faster and simpler than JSON to parse). This is easy to turn on by calling cluster::set_websocket_protocol before cluster::start
• Added proper support for stage instances (events and REST calls)
• Add audit log reasons to all REST calls that support it, via cluster::add_audit_reason
• Support for building in MINGW (no voice support yet)

The full changelog of D++ 9.0.9 is listed below:
