0.5.0

[github-actions[bot]]

This release marks Redwood's "beta" period which provides slightly more stability guarantees than
before. All future releases up to (but NOT including) 1.0 will have protocol and service
compatibility with older versions. In practice, what this means is that you can use Redwood 0.6
(and beyond) to compile and deploy Treehouse guest code which will run inside a Treehouse host
from Redwood 0.5.

Redwood still reserves the right to make binary- and source-incompatible changes within the host
code or within the guest code.

New:

• The relevant tags and names from your schema will now automatically be tracked in an API file and
  changes will be validated to be backwards-compatible. The redwoodApiGenerate Gradle task will
  generate or update the file, and the redwoodApiCheck task will validate the current schema as
  part of the check lifecycle task.
• width, height, and size modifiers allow precise control over widget size within
  Redwood layout.
• Preliminary support for rememberSaveable within Treehouse guest code with persistence only
  available on Android hosts.

Changes:

• The flexbox implementation has changed from being a Kotlin port of the Google's Java flexbox
  layout to using Facebook's Yoga library.
• LazyList now has arguments for margin and cross-axis alignment
  (verticalAlignment for LazyRow, horizontalAlignment for LazyColumn)
• Remove the ability to use custom implementations of LazyList. Any missing functionality from
  the built-in versions should be filed as a feature request.
• The command-line tools (codegen, lint, schema) are now uploaded to Maven Central as standalone
  zip files in addition to each regular jar artifact for use with non-Gradle build systems.

Fixed:

• RTL layout direction is now supported by the Compose UI and View-based implementations of
  Redwood layout.

This version only works with Kotlin 1.8.22.
