v0.2.0

This release adds many many features and actually makes this crate somewhat usable! Expect a full 1.0.0 release within the next few versions.

Breaking Changes

• Transparent data structs (such as JsonString) no longer impl Deref and DerefMut. Use .into() and .from() to convert between the inner data.
• Vec transparent data structs (such as RawData) now impl FromIterator.
• RawData, Rpc, and Protobuf now all have a from_value impl, meaning they can be received from the server.
• Vec primitives now all have a from_value impl meaning they can be received from the server.
• Renamed NetworkTableDataType to NetworkTableData.
• Field Client.time is now private, use the method Client.time() instead.
• response_timeout, ping_interval, and update_time_interval are now options that can be changed via NewClientOptions.
• Serialize and deserialize DataType as a u32 is now private.
• Type aliases NTServerSender, NTServerReceiver, NTClientSender, and NTClientReceiver are now all pub(crate) instead of pub.
• New error variants with subscribers and publishers.
• The module dataframe has been renamed to data.
• The module dataframe/datatype has been renamed to data/type.
• Common traits (Clone, PartialEq, Eq, etc.) have now been implemented for many public structs/enums.
• Many internal structs/enums in the data module are now pub(crate) instead of pub.
• Reworked how subscribers work to allow for the subscription of multiple topics (using the prefix option, for example).
  Now, announce, update, and unannounce messages are all received.
• Creating a subscriber no longer returns a Result, but instead Self.
• ConnectError enum now has many more variants.
• ConnectError has been moved to the error module.
• NTAddr.into_addr() now returns a Result and not an Option.

Additions

• SubscriptionOptions now has an extra field for extra values.
• The client now keeps track of announced topics using the AnnouncedTopic struct and can be retrieved using the method Client.announced_topics().
• Created method Subscriber.topics() that retrieves all subscribed topics.

Changes

• Publishing now doesn't have a timeout. If a timeout is still necessary, use tokio::time::timeout on the future returned by Topic.publish().

Improvements

• The crate tracing is now used for logging.
• Much clearer logs.
• Much better error handling and less panics.

Bug Fixes

• Subscribing using the periodic option now works as intended.
• Creating a client before the server no longer panics.

Docs

• Added documentation for the whole crate.
