v2.25.0

Chore

• remove obsolete tui-shared feature

New Features

• add --log-file flag to keep track of some debug info, which includes panics.
  Previously, when dua i was used, panics would be hard to observe, if at all,
  as they would print to the alternate screen. Now, when the --log-file dua.log
  is specified, the panic will be emitted into the log file instead and thus won't
  be lost anymore.

  This may help with debugging in future.

Bug Fixes

• --ignore-dirs now work as expected.
  Previously they would need to be specified as relative to the traversal root, which
  was unintuitive and would lead to ignores not working for many.

  Even though this was done for performance to avoid canonicalization, we do now
  perform a more performance version of canonicalization so the overall performance
  should be acceptable nonetheless.

  Also note that ignored directories are now logged when using a --log-file.

• consistent language across the application and improved style of the Help pane.
  Generally, what was called entry is now called item, consistently.

Other

• clarify that (and why) termion isn't supported anymore in README.md
  This was triggered by crossterm essentially breaking event handling
  on Windows, which is when I decided to just use the seemingly more
  powerful crossterm events natively.

  Overall, this made event handling more complex, but also allows users of
  crosstermion (the crate that actually dropped termion support) to
  write even more interactive applications without worrying about
  the always out-of-date intermediate layer.

  Interestingly, the crosstermion crate adds some useful features around event handling,
  but also optimizes build times thanks to termion, which is something that
  on my current machine I don't notice anymore, so the value of it diminished greatly.
