v0.3.0-RC1

This is the first release candidate for 0.3.0, which includes multiple rewrites and new features.

New Features:

• Surface support (#121, #123)
  • It's now easier to have surfaces in memory that can be drawn into a canvas
  • The canvas is now also a surface
• Runtime platform detection (#105)

Refactorings:

• Revamped package structure (#101)
  • The core package was split into:
    • runtime
    • graphics
    • input
  • The pure package was split into:
    • runtime.pure
    • graphics.pure
• Simpler DefaultBackend logic (#104 )
  • Instead of calling default (e.g. CanvasManager.default()) one can just use the apply method (e.g. CanvasManager()).
  • There are less implicits passed around, which should make some things less surprising.
• New Loop/LoopRunner/RenderLoop abstractions (#99)
  • Internal changes to have less platform-specific code.
• Use native surface scaling for increased performance (#114)
