  the animation::Animator to define some animated properties.
  - `Menu` now support animations.

  https://github.com/ArthurSonzogni/FTXUI/issues/337
- Add decorator for components:
  - `operator|(Component, ComponentDecorator)`
  - `operator|(Component, ElementDecorator)`
  - `operator|=(Component, ComponentDecorator)`
  - `operator|=(Component, ElementDecorator)`
  - Add the `Maybe` decorator.
  - Add the `CatchEvent` decorator.
  - Add the `Renderer` decorator.
- **breaking** remove the "deprectated.hpp" header and Input support for wide
    string.

### DOM:

Element gaugeRight(float ratio);
Element gaugeUp(float ratio);
Element gaugeDown(float ratio);
Element gaugeDirection(float ratio, GaugeDirection);
```
- Add `separatorHSelector` and `separatorVSelector` elements. This can be used
  to highlight an area.
- Add the `automerge` decorator. This makes separator characters to be merged
  with others nearby.
- Fix the `Table` rendering function, to allow automerging characters.
- **Bugfix**: The `vscroll_indicator` now computes its offset and size
  correctly.
- Add the `operator|=(Element, Decorator)`

### Screen:
- Add: `Color::Interpolate(lambda, color_a, color_b)`.

2.0.0
-----

### Features:

#### Screen
- Add the `automerge` to the Pixel bit field. This now controls which pixels are
  automatically merged.

#### DOM:
- Add the `Canvas` class and `ElementFrom('canvas')` function. Together users of
  the library can draw using braille and block characters.
- Support `flexbox` dom elements. This is build symmetrically to the HTML one.
  All the following attributes are supported: direction, wrap, justify-content,
  align-items, align-content, gap
- Add the dom elements helper based on `flexbox`:
  - `paragraph`
  - `paragraphAlignLeft`
  - `paragraphAlignCenter`
  - `paragraphAlignRight`
  - `paragraphAlignJustify`
- Add the helper elements based on `flexbox`: `hflow()`, `vflow()`.
- Add: `focusPositionRelative` and `focusPosition`
- Add `Table` constructor from 2D vector of Element, instead of string.

#### Component 
- Add the `collapsible` component.
- Add the `ScreenInteractive::WithRestoredIO`. This decorates a callback. This
  runs it with the terminal hooks temporarilly uninstalled. This is useful if
  you want to execute command using directly stdin/stdout/sterr.

### Bug

#### Table
- The `table` horizontal and vertical separator are now correctly expanded.

#### Component 
- `Input` shouldn't take focus when hovered by the mouse.
- Modifying `Input`'s during on_enter/on_change event is now working correctly.

  instead of a list of elements.
