libraft-0.3.0.0: ChangeLog.md

# Changelog for raft

## 0.3.0.0

- API change: `runRaftNode` now requires the monad it runs in to provide an
  instance of the `MonadRaftAsync` and `MonadRaftChan` in the `Raft.Monad`
  module in lieu of the previously necessary `MonadConc` instance.
- API change: Removed the `MonadConc` constraint on all example monad
  transformers and implemented inherited `MonadRaftChan` and `MonadRaftAsync` 
  instances 
- API change: Removed the `MonadConc` const
- API change: Renamed the old `Raft.Monad` module to `Raft.Transtion` and moved the 
  `RaftT` monad transformer from `Raft.hs` to the `Raft.Monad` module
- Improvement: Rework example monad `RaftExampleT` for simplicity
