Version 1.10

[JXSnack]

The next Vera update. This update will contain various breaking changes. The reason we do not go to v2 is because I'd want to have a full rewrite for that as I'm not 100% happy with how Vera works at the moment, but I don't have the time to make it as I like it

Required

• Reworked and more modular event system
• New abstraction layer under VWidget
• Styling system
• Move all widgets to new styling system
• Animation system
• Layout system
• Layout alignments
• App hierarchy
• Reworked dragging
• Generalise events to Events class
• Render cutoffs
• Layout limits
• Render quads
• VRect with custom vertex positions VAbstractQuad, VColorQuad and VTextureQuad as quad with custom vertex positions and textures/colors, as a testing stone for the reworked rendering in a future update
• New Logo

Everything strikethrough has been postponed to a later version, unless you want to implement it yourself. I'll be happy to accept your PRs
Potential:
- [ ] Render polygons
- [ ] Polygon hitboxes
- [ ] Render circles
- [ ] Circle hitboxes
