Release v0.1.0

In the past five months, I have dedicated significant effort to a complete rewrite of Bevy_Lunex. I am excited to announce that the library has reached a functional state. Here are the major highlights since version 0.0.11:

Major changes

• States - UI entities now feature a state machine, akin to TailwindCSS's class overrides (e.g., bg-red-500 hover:bg-yellow-500). This allows for defining a wide range of properties, including layout changes, based on different states.

• Worldspace UI - Creating worldspace and diegetic UI is now possible.

• 2D & 3D - You can now combine 2D and 3D cameras to render 2D UI elements on top of a 3D scene, perfect for HUDs and other overlay interfaces.

• Component Abstraction - Abstract different UI components (not ECS components) such as buttons and input fields into their own encapsulated abstractions, enhancing modularity and reusability.

• Routing - Organize your project by splitting your UI into distinct "routes" (e.g., Inventory, MainMenu, Settings). These routes can be spawned and managed dynamically, keeping your UI code tidy and manageable.

• Interactivity - Now implemented on top of bevy_mod_picking, providing a significantly better solution compared to previous custom implementations.

• Lazy compute - Layout calculations are now cached. This offers performance benefits, especially for infrequently updated UIs.

• New UI Units - Mix and match different units like pixels and percentages (9 total) in the layout. Can be compared to HTML's calc(...) function.

• ECS modularity - All user interfaces are now constructed using standard ECS entities and components. This change paves the way for leveraging the upcoming BSN (Bevy Scene Notation) addition.
