Doodle 0.5.0 released

Doodle is a pure Kotlin UI framework for the Web, that lets you create rich applications without relying on Javascript, HTML or CSS. Check out the documentation and tutorials to learn more.

Multi-touch Support

Doodle now supports multiple pointers (i.e. touches) by default. So there is no additional work needed to enable this in apps.

• PointerInputManager now tracks a collection of pointers and dispatches events to Views on a per-pointer basis.
• PointerEvent now has information about the list of pointers (for the View and overall). This lets handlers support multi-touch.
• Resizer now works better with multi-touch.
• Added ability to suppress OS handling of PointerEvent. This is like consume, except it does not affect other app listeners.

Accessibility Support

This release stabilizes accessibility and brings a lot of new support to items in the Controls library.

• View now supports accessibilityLabel, accessibilityLabelProvider, accessibilityDescriptionProvider, and nextInAccessibleReadOrder.
