v0.10.0 - Githubissues

New shortcuts:

The QApp and Puzzle name arguments are no longer required when creating a Puzzle. The QApp still needs to be created in non-IPython contexts, but it can now be inferred by the Piece.

You can directly accesss a Piece's params by indexing it like a dictionary:

puzzle["piece"]["param_name"]
# is now equivalent to
puzzle["piece"].params["param_name"]

New features:

A slider parameter type - displays a slider and a value label. Min and max values, as well as the step size, are defined on creation.
First extra submodule - DataGrids allow for storing and interacting with data using the param abstractions in a table format. Can be added to a Piece's custom_layout to enable new data manipulation tasks.

Fixes and enhancements:

add_piece now returns the Piece instance (useful if a class is being passed for instantiation)
v_step argument when creating spinboxes changes the step of the box's buttons.
Popups now close when the Puzzle is closed.
Default param values are cast to the right type on creation.
IPython exception handler is now inserted correctly even if puzzle.process_events() is called in the cell that creates the Puzzle.
Pieces can now be instantiated without a parent Puzzle. This allows for using the Piece as a standalone Widget in an environment where only one Piece is needed, or a Puzzle cannot be set up, but is in general not advised.
Option to hide the bottom buttons of a Puzzle (Tree, Export, STOP)
All code has been re-formatted using ruff.
