🚀 Release v0.8.0

[John-P]

:sparkles: New

• Add DICOM writer.
• Avoid decoding entire TIFF before conversion starts.
• TIFFReader can now expose a dask array view (using tiffile Zarr view underneath).
• Add overwrite option to transcode CLI mode.
• Refactor to use persistent worker subprocesses. This avoids recreating the reader object for each region read. For some reader such as DICOMWSIReader this significantly improves performance.
• General refactoring and code cleanup.

• :bug: Bug Fixes

  • Fix writing MPP for SVSWriter.
  • Remove OpenSlide thumbnail generation method. This would cause the process to run out of memory for some files and the base implementation works just as well without this memory issue.
