Effects Changes (0.11.0)

• Slice effect calculates the center of the text absolutely rather than by average line length.
• Print effect no longer moves the print head to the start of each line, only back to the first character on the next line.
• Many effects were updated to support anchoring within the Canvas.

Engine Changes (0.11.0)

• Performance improvements to geometry functions related to circles. (10.0.1)
• Gradient's support indexing and slicing.
• EffectCharacter objects no longer have a symbol attribute. Instead, the Animation class has a new attribute
  current_character_visual which provides access to a symbol and color attribute reflecting the character's current
  symbol and color. The prior EffectCharacter.symbol attribute was unreliable and represented both a formatted and
  unformatted symbol depending on when it was accessed. In addition, the color attribute is now a Color object and the
  color code has been moved into the _color_code attribute.
• EffectCharacter objects have a new attribute is_fill_character: bool.

  output. (10.0.1)

Other (0.11.0)

• Keyboard Interrupts are handled gracefully while effects are animating.
