eza v0.11.0

[cafkafk]

Description

A new minor release, and the first minor release in the lifetime of eza. Why a minor release? Because we just landed windows support, that's why!

A lot of code quality changes in this release as well, of particular note, the icons are now stored in a perfect hash table, giving a small but noticeable improvement in performance.

So I've updated the deb repo as well ... but I had to alter our dependencies a little, see #192

Release - Binary when?

[cafkafk]

As soon as I have time to finish up #101, but I'm not comfortable giving specific deadlines.

[cafkafk]

#211 makes this possible for future releases.

Release - Binary when?

Just now. And likely Monday releases will now have release binaries.

Currently, we create binaries for:

• x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
• aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
• x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

I've added them to https://github.com/eza-community/eza/releases/tag/v0.11.0 and would love testing.
