v0.28.0-alpha.0 - 2024-07-27

Features

• 5b51018 (chart) Add GraphType::Bar by @joshka in #1205

  ![Demo](https://vhs.charm.sh/vhs-50v7I5n7lQF7tHCb1VCmFc.gif)
  

• 36d49e5 (table) Select first, last, etc to table state by @robertpsoane in #1198

  Add select_previous, select_next, select_first & select_last to
  TableState
  
  Used equivalent API as in ListState
  

• 3bb374d (terminal) Add Terminal::try_draw() method by @joshka in #1209

  This makes it easier to write fallible rendering methods that can use
  the `?` operator
  
  ```rust
  terminal.try_draw(|frame| {
      some_method_that_can_fail()?;
      another_faillible_method()?;
      Ok(())
  })?;
  ```
  

• 3725262 (text) Add Add and AddAssign implementations for Line, Span, and Text by @joshka in #1236

  This enables:
  
  ```rust
  let line = Span::raw("Red").red()   Span::raw("blue").blue();
  let line = Line::raw("Red").red()   Span::raw("blue").blue();
  let line = Line::raw("Red").red()   Line::raw("Blue").blue();
  let text = Line::raw("Red").red()   Line::raw("Blue").blue();
  let text = Text::raw("Red").red()   Line::raw("Blue").blue();
  
  let mut line = Line::raw("Red").red();
  line  = Span::raw("Blue").blue();
  
  let mut text = Text::raw("Red").red();
  text  = Line::raw("Blue").blue();
  
  line.extend(vec![Span::raw("1"), Span::raw("2"), Span::raw("3")]);
  ```
  

• c34fb77 (text) Remove unnecessary lifetime from ToText trait by @joshka in #1234 [breaking]

  BREAKING CHANGE:The ToText trait no longer has a lifetime parameter.
  This change simplifies the trait and makes it easier implement.

Bug Fixes

• 7e1bab0 (buffer) Dont render control characters by @EdJoPaTo in #1226

• 03f3124 (paragraph) Line_width, and line_count include block borders by @airblast-dev in #1235

  The `line_width`, and `line_count` methods for `Paragraph` would not
  take into account the `Block` if one was set. This will now correctly
  calculate the values including the `Block`'s width/height.

Performance

• 663486f (list) Avoid extra allocations when rendering List by @airblast-dev in #1244

  When rendering a `List`, each `ListItem` would be cloned. Removing the
  clone, and replacing `Widget::render` with `WidgetRef::render_ref` saves
  us allocations caused by the clone of the `Text<'_>` stored inside of
  `ListItem`.
  
  Based on the results of running the "list" benchmark locally;
  Performance is improved by %1-3 for all `render` benchmarks for `List`.
  

• be3eb75 (table) Avoid extra allocations when rendering Table by @airblast-dev in #1242

  When rendering a `Table` the `Text` stored inside of a `Cell` gets
  cloned before rendering. This removes the clone and uses `WidgetRef`
  instead, saving us from allocating a `Vec<Line<'_>>` inside `Text`. Also
  avoids an allocation when rendering the highlight symbol if it contains
  an owned value.
