I forgot to update this in a while, so this is a quite big changelog entry.
I got the first major code contributions by other developers, so from now on the changelog entries will be split by author. It may also have a header like this one in which it will contain a short summary or a message from the author.
Special thanks to Hugo Rosnet, who contributed a lot of code that implemented a number of major features, helped me with multiple code reviews and kept me motivated enough to constantly work on this project.
Also thanks to Jay Wineinger who contributed a non-trivial piece of code, and to the other folks who contributed documentation, raised or discussed various Github issues.

- Big code refactoring to make the code more maintainable and testable.
- Buildsystem improvements (and regressions, since fixed).
- Updated regional and instance type coverage, thanks to ec2instances.info.
- Support restricting the execution to a given set of regions.
- Expose all configuration options also as CloudFormation stack parameters.
- Documentation updates and improvements.
- Random small cleanups.
- Update Lambda function's IAM permissions.
- The algorithm now supports keeping on-demand instances in each AutoScaling group.
- The algorithm is now configurable using tags set on the group and based on flags when executing it locally as a CLI tool.
- Significant test coverage increases.
- Significant clean-up and refactoring of the core algorithm.
- Documentation improvements.
- Pagination fix, making it work for users having many ASGs.
- Documentation for Elastic Beanstalk.
Major, breaking compatibility, packaging update: now using eawsy/aws-lambda-go for packaging of the Lambda function
- Switch to the golang-native eawsy/aws-lambda-go for packaging of the Lambda function code.
- This is a breaking change, updating already running CloudFormation stacks will also need a template update.
- Add versioning for the CloudFormation template.
- Buildsystem updates (both on Makefile and Travis CI configuration).
- Change build dependencies: now building Lambda code in Docker, use wget instead of curl in order not to download data unnecessarily.
- Remove the Python Lambda wrapper, it is no longer needed.
- Start using go-bindata for shipping static files, instead of packaging them in the Lambda zip file.
- Introduce a configuration object for the main functionality, not in use yet.
- Documentation updates and better formatting.
- Test and fix support for EC2 Classic
- Fix corner case in handling of ephemeral storage
- Earlier spot request tagging
- Regional expansion for R3 and D2 instances
- Add support for the new Ohio AWS region
- Add support in all the regions for the newly released instance types: m4.16xlarge, p2.xlarge, p2.8xlarge, p2.16xlarge and x1.16xlarge
