+* [CHANGE] (breaking) `--metric-interval` default value is now zero (not 120) #99
+* [CHANGE] (breaking) change `out-of-order` to `--remote-out-of-order` for consistency. #101
+* [CHANGE] Install command for `avalanche` moved to `cmd/avalanche/` from `cmd/` #97
+* [FEATURE] Added `mtypes` binary for metric type calculation against targets #97
