v1.3.0

What's Changed

Ion Element v1.3.0 improves performance when loading elements. Without location metadata, this release is about 2x as fast and uses 75% less memory compared to v1.2.0. If you load elements with location metadata, then this release is about 5x as fast and uses 90% less memory compared to v1.2.0.
