This PR nearly concludes the work on version 1.0 (there will be one more PR with some trivial renaming).
A new package structure became necessary for two reasons: First, the public API surface has been reduced to about 3 quarters of what it was in 0.19, leaving behind some skeleton packages, and second, the API has grown over 11 years in a way that too many things became weirdly scattered over time.
This description will focus on laika-core as the other modules are barely affected (they all have new .internal sub-packages, but only package-private types have moved there, meaning users of the API are not affected).
laika-core packages for 1.x
The number of public top-level packages has been reduced from 14 to 5:
laika.api - The root package remains unchanged, containing the main entry points for constructing parsers, renderers and transformers. There are three new sub-packages containing the APIs for extension authors which are not regularly used in application code or builds using the Laika plugin:
laika.api.format - APIs for developing custom input or output formats (e.g. MarkupFormat, RenderFormat).
laika.api.bundle - APIs for developing extensions or customizations (containing the main type ExtensionBundle).
laika.api.config - APIs for programmatically constructing Config instances or decoders and encoders.
laika.ast - The document AST, nearly unchanged (very few types have moved into or out of this package as part of the cleanup).
laika.config - This package is the new home for basic configuration types such as LinkConfig. These were previously scattered over multiple sub-packages (e.g. laika.rewrite.nav). These types are commonly used in basic builds or simple high-level API usage, meaning this change affects the highest number of users and might be best covered in a scalafix.
laika.format - Unchanged, still containing the small set of input and output formats that Laika supports out of the box (HTML, Markdown, etc.) This is the only package in laika-core other modules "contribute" to (e.g. EPUB from laika-io and PDF from laika-pdf).
laika.parse - Laika's parser combinator library, largely unchanged apart from removing some types from public APIs and into laika.internal.parse.
