[Tickit-dev] Released: Tickit 0.11

[Paul LeoNerd Evans]

A couple of days ago I uploaded Tickit 0.11. (Yes, I'm slow at writing
announcement emails).

 * Allow Windows to be created overlapping their parent boundaries; clip output
   - Work In Progress, so far only handles ->print and ->erasech, not the
   scrolling operations

 * Represent on-screen rectangles as first-class Tickit::Rect object, pass a
   'rect' argument to Window on_expose event

   These two items are here partly to help Widget::Scroller, and also because
   they help pave the way to layered and floating windows.

 * More diagnostic output from Tickit::Test::is_termlog failures

 * Support (rarely-used) strikethrough pen attribute

   Admittedly I don't know a single terminal other than my
   libvterm/pangoterm that can render this, so this is entirely selfish
   on my part - I don't suggest anyone actually rely on it to work ;)

 * No longer depends on Term::TermKey::Async unnecessarily

   Because I messed up the last release.

This now leaves us simply with

Related to this is still to consider how window scrolling is going to
work alongside window layering and clipping, and so on. I'll send a
separate mail for that one though.
