0.30.0-alpha.1 is a pre-release of the upcoming 0.30.0 release. It is intended for testing and
feedback. Please report any issues you encounter. The primary change is that we've split the crate
into multiple crates. The main crate is now ratatui-core and the widgets are in ratatui-widgets.
This allows for widget crates to depend on a stable core crate, and for the core crate to be used
without widgets.
