v1.0.0-alpha.9 is a pre-release of the Execution API.

In this release, the eth namespace saw some minor changes. The engine namespace was further refined, particularly with respect to edge cases. A new API specification was added to the repository in this release: the GraphQL spec! @s1na added this spec in #199. GraphQL is a great addition; it allows developers to make very fine-grain requests against execution clients.
