Library Changes from v6.0.0

• TweenLimitMode has been renamed TWEEN_LIMIT_MODE
• Fixed bug in handling key config items in grid menus
• Fixed bug in array_is_subset
• Fixed bug with wrap
• Fixed a bug where pressing right on the D-pad did not register as pressing any button on a gamepad
• Callbacks are now passed to menu items by assigning the on_*_func keys in their configs the actual functions themselves rather than their names as strings.
  • Depending on how your callbacks were written, this could be a breaking change, as the new system may cause the scope of the callback to change.
• Gamepad connection status tracking moved from Control Manager demo to the Control Manager itself.
• Menu Item types has been renamed to type and changed from a DS List to a single string.
• Added Valued Selectables menu items. These work like a regular Selectable, but also has a value field like a Spinner. However, unlike the Spinner, the user cannot change the value themselves, it must be done programmatically via the set_value function.
• Added scroll arrows to Spinner menu to distinguish it from Valued Selectable items.
• Added rgb_hex_string_to_real
