v8.0.0

This is a substantial upgrade from 7.0.0 with numerous bugfixes and quality of life improvements. Efforts have been made to bring the syntax of this fork closer to the original and, where not possible, simplicity has been an upmost priority.

Changes

• Added safety check to onProgress hook in PdfLoader to prevent potential races and resets to loading state after a PDF has been loaded in. #1 Thank you @orausch ❤.
• Removed MouseSelectionRenderer and moved any necessary logic into MouseSelection.
• Removed TipRenderer and moved any necessary logic into TipContainer.
• Removed PdfLoaderContext in favour of callback style child components, much like the original branch.
• Removed SelectionContext and TipContext, moving all functionality into a new PdfHighlighterContext. This streamlines the library massively and makes tasks like getting the current tip, setting a tip, getting the current selection, making a ghost highlight, etc. much simpler and accessible across an entire application.
• Added strict mode to example app for better testing.
• Fixed PDF document stacking by debouncing PDF Loading #2 .
• Removed Comment and added generic types to ViewportHighlight. This allows the user to create their own Highlight types and typehint them inside their HighlightContext.
• Added highlightTip to MonitoredHighlightContainer directly, so users can simply specify the component they want to display above a hovered highlight.
• Added onCreateGhostHighlight and onRemoveGhostHighlight events
• Renamed MonitoredHighlightContainer events
• Added tip position clipping on the left of the screen.
• Rolled back to PDF.js v2.16.05 for a better selection experience. This may change in future. #3 .
• Added TypeDocs.
• Updated example app.
• Updated usage examples
• Updated dependencies.

NOTE: This was labelled 7.1.0 originally, but since backward compatibility is broken, the version number is being updated to be semantically corect.
