 * Added `FetchCanisterLogs` function to `MgmtMethod` and a corresponding wrapper to `ManagementCanister`.
 * Updated the `ring` crate to 0.17.7.  `ring` 0.16 has a bug where it requires incorrect Ed25519 PEM encoding. 0.17.7 fixes that and is backwards compatible.
 * Removed serde and candid serialization traits from the `Status` type.
+* Added commas and newlines to the `Status` fmt::Display output. It is valid JSON now (it was close before).
