[Tickit-dev] Released: Tickit 0.49

[Paul "LeoNerd" Evans]

New in Tickit 0.49 is almost entirely deprecation-related; removing of
old things, warnings on things soon to be removed, general preparations
for moving the Window layer into the C library:

 * Announce deprecation of Tickit::Pen observers

   Pen observers have long since been replaced by the entire
   Tickit::Style system. At some point I'd like to continue the general
   theme of removing them entirely from the code, simplifying the C
   library

 * Warn on Widgets that don't have WIDGET_PEN_FROM_STYLE set

   Widget default pen information should come from the style now.

 * Die on attempts to disable CHILD_WINDOWS_LATER

   This has been the new behaviour for a while, there's now no need to
   keep this ability around.

 * Warnings from Window direct draw methods

   Having moved all the window drawing operations into the
   RenderBuffer, the direct drawing methods should no longer be used on
   Windows. These will be removed fairly soon.

 * No longer accept old-style "list of positional arguments" event
   handlers on Tickit::Window

   The new event handler style taking a single "$ev" object with fields
   on is now the default. This makes further changes forward much
   easier by simply adding new field methods to the event objects,
   rather than having to add more positionals.

 * Allow chaining return of ContainerWidget->{add,remove}

   This makes constructors slightly easier in small demo examples, unit
   tests, etc...
