1.0.0

This is the first official release of Verto, after over four years of use in production systems.
There are several changes in this release that may break existing pipelines and require changes.

• Add new processors/external-link processor that modifies hyperlinks to open in a new tab.

• Modify processors/scratch and processors/scratch-inline processors to set Scratch code to be rendered by a JavaScript library.

  • This replaces the previous method of creating images.

  • The split option has been removed as it is no longer relevant to the new method.

  • The random option has been removed to improve consistency in rendered material.

    • Randomising the blocks can be achieved after rendering the code.

• Use GitHub Actions for automated builds and publishing to PyPI.

• Use new declarative setup.cfg file for packaging configuration.

• Removed CodeClimate configuration file.

• Use GitHub Actions for automated testing (instead of Travis CI) and code analysis.
