Contributions summary:Azharul primarily focused on enhancing the `string.js` library by adding new string manipulation methods and improving existing ones. Their work included implementing methods like `startsWith`, `endsWith`, and refactoring the `template` and `underscore` methods to support multiple arguments, remove leading/trailing spaces, and address edge cases. They also refactored the build process to use `gulp` and improved test descriptions to reflect new functionality, with the final commit being to a new version release.
