Topic: alpha3

Roc alpha3 is out. It mainly solves some macos issues. There are no new features because we're working on a clean rewrite of the compiler in zig that aims to be reliable and easy to maintain :)

Breaking Changes

• Both macos releases are now built with macos 13 so they may no longer work on macos 12.
• old_linux releases are gone, they were built with really outdated software at this point.
• 0- was removed from the filename of the tar.gz archives.
• 0.0.0- was removed from the tag name; it is now alpha3-rolling

Other Changes

• The roc binaries built for macos no longer require the z3 dependency. brew install zstd should be all that is required.
