Piggyback!

Scalaz 7.2.0 has also been released for Scala.JS as an unofficial fork

here: https://github.com/japgolly/scalaz

Also the Free monad benchmarks have been updated and I'm happy to see that Free is over doubly fast compared to 7.1, since the encoding was changed. (See the {before,after}.png attachments.)

The Free monad library shootout, currently only against Cats, has gone from being significantly slower to faster (-est). Great work!

Cheers,
