 - Make GPIOs start in a `Disconnected` state instead of `Input<Floating>` ([#220] [#245]).
-- 🦭 all `Instance` traits ([#255]).
-- 🦭 PPI traits ([#259]).

 - Various TWIM fixes and improvements - removes automatic transfer splitting ([#242]).

+¹ _A trait can be sealed by making a private trait a supertrait. That way, no
+  downstream crates can implement it (since they can't name the supertrait).
+  This is just to make sure the trait isn't implemented by types that shouldn't
+  implement it._

 ### Internal Improvements
 
 - Utilize [`cargo-xtask`] to simplify CI and the release process ([#207] [#210]).
