ambiorix 2.0.0

Breaking change

The render and send_file methods of the Response object now expect the full path to the template, with the file extension. Where one would before res$render("home"), now one res$render("templates/home.html"). Similarly, in said templates, to import partials, use full path relative to the template in which the partial is used e.g.: from [! header.html !] to [! partials/header.html !].
