refactor(layout): rename element to segment in layout (#1397)

layout calculations for clarity. `element` can refer to `segment`s or
`spacer`s and functions that take only `segment`s should use `segment`
as the variable names.

+## v0.28.0
+
+### `Backend::size` returns `Size` instead of `Rect` ([#1254])
+
+[#1254]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/1254
+
+The `Backend::size` method returns a `Size` instead of a `Rect`.
+There is no need for the position here as it was always 0,0.
+
+### `Backend` trait migrates to `get/set_cursor_position` ([#1284])
+
+[#1284]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/1284
+
+If you just use the types implementing the `Backend` trait, you will see deprecation hints but
+nothing is a breaking change for you.
+
+If you implement the Backend trait yourself, you need to update the implementation and add the
+`get/set_cursor_position` method. You can remove the `get/set_cursor` methods as they are deprecated
+and a default implementation for them exists.
+
+### Ratatui now requires Crossterm 0.28.0 ([#1278])
+
+[#1278]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/1278
+
+Crossterm is updated to version 0.28.0, which is a semver incompatible version with the previous
+version (0.27.0). Ratatui re-exports the version of crossterm that it is compatible with under
+`ratatui::crossterm`, which can be used to avoid incompatible versions in your dependency list.
+
+### `Axis::labels()` now accepts `IntoIterator<Into<Line>>` ([#1273] and [#1283])
+
+[#1273]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/1173
+[#1283]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/1283
+
+Previously Axis::labels accepted `Vec<Span>`. Any code that uses conversion methods that infer the
+type will need to be rewritten as the compiler cannot infer the correct type.
+
+```diff
+- Axis::default().labels(vec!["a".into(), "b".into()])
++ Axis::default().labels(["a", "b"])
+```
+
+### `Layout::init_cache` no longer returns bool and takes a `NonZeroUsize` instead of `usize` ([#1245])
+
+[#1245]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/1245
+
+```diff
+- let is_initialized = Layout::init_cache(100);
++ Layout::init_cache(NonZeroUsize::new(100).unwrap());
+```
+
+### `ratatui::terminal` module is now private ([#1160])
+
+[#1160]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/1160
+
+The `terminal` module is now private and can not be used directly. The types under this module are
+exported from the root of the crate. This reduces clashes with other modules in the backends that
+are also named terminal, and confusion about module exports for newer Rust users.
+
+```diff
+- use ratatui::terminal::{CompletedFrame, Frame, Terminal, TerminalOptions, ViewPort};
++ use ratatui::{CompletedFrame, Frame, Terminal, TerminalOptions, ViewPort};
+```
+
+### `ToText` no longer has a lifetime ([#1234])
+
+[#1234]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/1234
+
+This change simplifies the trait and makes it easier to implement.
+
+### `Frame::size` is deprecated and renamed to `Frame::area`
+
+[#1293]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/1293
+
+`Frame::size` is renamed to `Frame::area` as it's the more correct name.
+
+## [v0.27.0](https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/releases/tag/v0.27.0)
+
+### List no clamps the selected index to list ([#1159])
+
+[#1149]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/1149
+
+The `List` widget now clamps the selected index to the bounds of the list when navigating with
+`first`, `last`, `previous`, and `next`, as well as when setting the index directly with `select`.
+
+Previously selecting an index past the end of the list would show treat the list as having a
+selection which was not visible. Now the last item in the list will be selected instead.
+
+### Prelude items added / removed ([#1149])
+
+The following items have been removed from the prelude:
+
+- `style::Styled` - this trait is useful for widgets that want to
+  support the Stylize trait, but it adds complexity as widgets have two
+  `style` methods and a `set_style` method.
+- `symbols::Marker` - this item is used by code that needs to draw to
+  the `Canvas` widget, but it's not a common item that would be used by
+  most users of the library.
+- `terminal::{CompletedFrame, TerminalOptions, Viewport}` - these items
+  are rarely used by code that needs to interact with the terminal, and
+  they're generally only ever used once in any app.
+
+The following items have been added to the prelude:
+
+- `layout::{Position, Size}` - these items are used by code that needs
+  to interact with the layout system. These are newer items that were
+  added in the last few releases, which should be used more liberally.
+  This may cause conflicts for types defined elsewhere with a similar
+  name.
+
+To update your app:
+
+```diff
+// if your app uses Styled::style() or Styled::set_style():
+-use ratatui::prelude::*;
++use ratatui::{prelude::*, style::Styled};
+
+// if your app uses symbols::Marker:
+-use ratatui::prelude::*;
++use ratatui::{prelude::*, symbols::Marker}
+
+// if your app uses terminal::{CompletedFrame, TerminalOptions, Viewport}
+-use ratatui::prelude::*;
++use ratatui::{prelude::*, terminal::{CompletedFrame, TerminalOptions, Viewport}};
+
+// to disambiguate existing types named Position or Size:
+- use some_crate::{Position, Size};
+- let size: Size = ...;
+- let position: Position = ...;
++ let size: some_crate::Size = ...;
++ let position: some_crate::Position = ...;
+```
+
+### Termion is updated to 4.0 [#1106]
+
+Changelog: <https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/termion/-/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md>
+
+A change is only necessary if you were matching on all variants of the `MouseEvent` enum without a
+wildcard. In this case, you need to either handle the two new variants, `MouseLeft` and
+`MouseRight`, or add a wildcard.
+
+[#1106]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/1106
+
+### `Rect::inner` takes `Margin` directly instead of reference ([#1008])
+
+[#1008]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/1008
+
+`Margin` needs to be passed without reference now.
+
+```diff
+-let area = area.inner(&Margin {
++let area = area.inner(Margin {
+     vertical: 0,
+     horizontal: 2,
+ });
+```
+
+### `Buffer::filled` takes `Cell` directly instead of reference ([#1148])
+
+[#1148]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/1148
+
+`Buffer::filled` moves the `Cell` instead of taking a reference.
+
+```diff
+-Buffer::filled(area, &Cell::new("X"));
++Buffer::filled(area, Cell::new("X"));
+```
+
+### `Stylize::bg()` now accepts `Into<Color>` ([#1103])
+
+[#1103]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/1103
+
+Previously, `Stylize::bg()` accepted `Color` but now accepts `Into<Color>`. This allows more
+flexible types from calling scopes, though it can break some type inference in the calling scope.
+
+### Remove deprecated `List::start_corner` and `layout::Corner` ([#759])
+
+[#759]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/759
+
+`List::start_corner` was deprecated in v0.25. Use `List::direction` and `ListDirection` instead.
+
+```diff
+- list.start_corner(Corner::TopLeft);
+- list.start_corner(Corner::TopRight);
+// This is not an error, BottomRight rendered top to bottom previously
+- list.start_corner(Corner::BottomRight);
+// all becomes
++ list.direction(ListDirection::TopToBottom);
+```
+
+```diff
+- list.start_corner(Corner::BottomLeft);
+// becomes
++ list.direction(ListDirection::BottomToTop);
+```
+
+`layout::Corner` was removed entirely.
+
+### `LineGauge::gauge_style` is deprecated ([#565])
+
+[#565]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/1148
+
+`LineGauge::gauge_style` is deprecated and replaced with `LineGauge::filled_style` and `LineGauge::unfilled_style`:
+
+```diff
+let gauge = LineGauge::default()
+- .gauge_style(Style::default().fg(Color::Red).bg(Color::Blue)
++ .filled_style(Style::default().fg(Color::Green))
++ .unfilled_style(Style::default().fg(Color::White));
+```
+
+## [v0.26.0](https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/releases/tag/v0.26.0)
+
+### `Flex::Start` is the new default flex mode for `Layout` ([#881])
+
+[#881]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/881
+
+Previously, constraints would stretch to fill all available space, violating constraints if
+necessary.
+
+With v0.26.0, `Flex` modes are introduced, and the default is `Flex::Start`, which will align
+areas associated with constraints to be beginning of the area. With v0.26.0, additionally,
+`Min` constraints grow to fill excess space. These changes will allow users to build layouts
+more easily.
+
+With v0.26.0, users will most likely not need to change what constraints they use to create
+existing layouts with `Flex::Start`. However, to get old behavior, use `Flex::Legacy`.
+
+```diff
+- let rects = Layout::horizontal([Length(1), Length(2)]).split(area);
+// becomes
++ let rects = Layout::horizontal([Length(1), Length(2)]).flex(Flex::Legacy).split(area);
+```
+
+### `Table::new()` now accepts `IntoIterator<Item: Into<Row<'a>>>` ([#774])
+
+[#774]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/774
+
+Previously, `Table::new()` accepted `IntoIterator<Item=Row<'a>>`. The argument change to
+`IntoIterator<Item: Into<Row<'a>>>`, This allows more flexible types from calling scopes, though it
+can some break type inference in the calling scope for empty containers.
+
+This can be resolved either by providing an explicit type (e.g. `Vec::<Row>::new()`), or by using
+`Table::default()`.
+
+```diff
+- let table = Table::new(vec![], widths);
+// becomes
++ let table = Table::default().widths(widths);
+```
+
+### `Tabs::new()` now accepts `IntoIterator<Item: Into<Line<'a>>>` ([#776])
+
+[#776]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/776
+
+Previously, `Tabs::new()` accepted `Vec<T>` where `T: Into<Line<'a>>`. This allows more flexible
+types from calling scopes, though it can break some type inference in the calling scope.
+
+This typically occurs when collecting an iterator prior to calling `Tabs::new`, and can be resolved
+by removing the call to `.collect()`.
+
+```diff
+- let tabs = Tabs::new((0.3).map(|i| format!("{i}")).collect());
+// becomes
++ let tabs = Tabs::new((0.3).map(|i| format!("{i}")));
+```
+
+### Table::default() now sets segment_size to None and column_spacing to ([#751])
+
+[#751]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/751
+
+The default() implementation of Table now sets the column_spacing field to 1 and the segment_size
+field to `SegmentSize::None`. This will affect the rendering of a small amount of apps.
+
+To use the previous default values, call `table.segment_size(Default::default())` and
+`table.column_spacing(0)`.
+
+### `patch_style` & `reset_style` now consumes and returns `Self` ([#754])
+
+[#754]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/754
+
+Previously, `patch_style` and `reset_style` in `Text`, `Line` and `Span` were using a mutable
+reference to `Self`. To be more consistent with the rest of `ratatui`, which is using fluent
+setters, these now take ownership of `Self` and return it.
+
+The following example shows how to migrate for `Line`, but the same applies for `Text` and `Span`.
+
+```diff
+- let mut line = Line::from("foobar");
+- line.patch_style(style);
+// becomes
++ let line = Line::new("foobar").patch_style(style);
+```
+
+### Remove deprecated `Block::title_on_bottom` ([#757])
+
+`Block::title_on_bottom` was deprecated in v0.22. Use `Block::title` and `Title::position` instead.
+
+```diff
+- block.title("foobar").title_on_bottom();
++ block.title(Title::from("foobar").position(Position::Bottom));
+```
+
+### `Block` style methods cannot be used in a const context ([#720])
+
+[#720]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/720
+
+Previously the `style()`, `border_style()` and `title_style()` methods could be used to create a
+`Block` in a constant context. These now accept `Into<Style>` instead of `Style`. These methods no
+longer can be called from a constant context.
+
+### `Line` now has a `style` field that applies to the entire line ([#708])
+
+[#708]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/708
+
+Previously the style of a `Line` was stored in the `Span`s that make up the line. Now the `Line`
+itself has a `style` field, which can be set with the `Line::styled` method. Any code that creates
+`Line`s using the struct initializer instead of constructors will fail to compile due to the added
+field. This can be easily fixed by adding `..Default::default()` to the field list or by using a
+constructor method (`Line::styled()`, `Line::raw()`) or conversion method (`Line::from()`).
+
+Each `Span` contained within the line will no longer have the style that is applied to the line in
+the `Span::style` field.
+
+```diff
+  let line = Line {
+      spans: vec!["".into()],
+      alignment: Alignment::Left,
++     ..Default::default()
+  };
+
+  // or
+
+  let line = Line::raw(vec!["".into()])
+      .alignment(Alignment::Left);
+```
+
+## [v0.25.0](https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/releases/tag/v0.25.0)
+
+### Removed `Axis::title_style` and `Buffer::set_background` ([#691])
+
+[#691]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/691
+
+These items were deprecated since 0.10.
+
+- You should use styling capabilities of [`text::Line`] given as argument of [`Axis::title`]
+  instead of `Axis::title_style`
+- You should use styling capabilities of [`Buffer::set_style`] instead of `Buffer::set_background`
+
+[`text::Line`]: https://docs.rs/ratatui/latest/ratatui/text/struct.Line.html
+[`Axis::title`]: https://docs.rs/ratatui/latest/ratatui/widgets/struct.Axis.html#method.title
+[`Buffer::set_style`]: https://docs.rs/ratatui/latest/ratatui/buffer/struct.Buffer.html#method.set_style
+
+### `List::new()` now accepts `IntoIterator<Item = Into<ListItem<'a>>>` ([#672])
+
+[#672]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/672
+
+Previously `List::new()` took `Into<Vec<ListItem<'a>>>`. This change will throw a compilation
+error for `IntoIterator`s with an indeterminate item (e.g. empty vecs).
+
+E.g.
+
+```diff
+- let list = List::new(vec![]);
+// becomes
++ let list = List::default();
+```
+
+### The default `Tabs::highlight_style` is now `Style::new().reversed()` ([#635])
+
+[#635]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/635
+
+Previously the default highlight style for tabs was `Style::default()`, which meant that a `Tabs`
+widget in the default configuration would not show any indication of the selected tab.
+
+### The default `Tabs::highlight_style` is now `Style::new().reversed()` ([#635])
+
+Previously the default highlight style for tabs was `Style::default()`, which meant that a `Tabs`
+widget in the default configuration would not show any indication of the selected tab.
+
+### `Table::new()` now requires specifying the widths of the columns ([#664])
+
+[#664]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/664
+
+Previously `Table`s could be constructed without `widths`. In almost all cases this is an error.
+A new `widths` parameter is now mandatory on `Table::new()`. Existing code of the form:
+
+```diff
+- Table::new(rows).widths(widths)
+```
+
+Should be updated to:
+
+```diff
++ Table::new(rows, widths)
+```
+
+For ease of automated replacement in cases where the amount of code broken by this change is large
+or complex, it may be convenient to replace `Table::new` with `Table::default().rows`.
+
+```diff
+- Table::new(rows).block(block).widths(widths);
+// becomes
++ Table::default().rows(rows).widths(widths)
+```
+
+### `Table::widths()` now accepts `IntoIterator<Item = AsRef<Constraint>>` ([#663])
+
+[#663]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/663
+
+Previously `Table::widths()` took a slice (`&'a [Constraint]`). This change will introduce clippy
+`needless_borrow` warnings for places where slices are passed to this method. To fix these, remove
+the `&`.
+
+E.g.
+
+```diff
+- let table = Table::new(rows).widths(&[Constraint::Length(1)]);
+// becomes
++ let table = Table::new(rows, [Constraint::Length(1)]);
+```
+
+### Layout::new() now accepts direction and constraint parameters ([#557])
+
+[#557]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/557
+
+Previously layout new took no parameters. Existing code should either use `Layout::default()` or
+the new constructor.
+
+```rust
+let layout = layout::new()
+  .direction(Direction::Vertical)
+  .constraints([Constraint::Min(1), Constraint::Max(2)]);
+// becomes either
+let layout = layout::default()
+  .direction(Direction::Vertical)
+  .constraints([Constraint::Min(1), Constraint::Max(2)]);
+// or
+let layout = layout::new(Direction::Vertical, [Constraint::Min(1), Constraint::Max(2)]);
+```
+
+## [v0.24.0](https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/releases/tag/v0.24.0)
+
+### `ScrollbarState` field type changed from `u16` to `usize` ([#456])
+
+[#456]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/456
+
+In order to support larger content lengths, the `position`, `content_length` and
+`viewport_content_length` methods on `ScrollbarState` now take `usize` instead of `u16`
+
+### `BorderType::line_symbols` renamed to `border_symbols` ([#529])
+
+[#529]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/issues/529
+
+Applications can now set custom borders on a `Block` by calling `border_set()`. The
+`BorderType::line_symbols()` is renamed to `border_symbols()` and now returns a new struct
+`symbols::border::Set`. E.g.:
+
+```diff
+- let line_set: symbols::line::Set = BorderType::line_symbols(BorderType::Plain);
+// becomes
++ let border_set: symbols::border::Set = BorderType::border_symbols(BorderType::Plain);
+```
+
+### Generic `Backend` parameter removed from `Frame` ([#530])
+
+[#530]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/issues/530
+
+`Frame` is no longer generic over Backend. Code that accepted `Frame<Backend>` will now need to
+accept `Frame`. To migrate existing code, remove any generic parameters from code that uses an
+instance of a Frame. E.g.:
+
+```diff
+- fn ui<B: Backend>(frame: &mut Frame<B>) { ... }
+// becomes
++ fn ui(frame: Frame) { ... }
+```
+
+### `Stylize` shorthands now consume rather than borrow `String` ([#466])
+
+[#466]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/issues/466
+
+In order to support using `Stylize` shorthands (e.g. `"foo".red()`) on temporary `String` values, a
+new implementation of `Stylize` was added that returns a `Span<'static>`. This causes the value to
+be consumed rather than borrowed. Existing code that expects to use the string after a call will no
+longer compile. E.g.
+
+```diff
+- let s = String::new("foo");
+- let span1 = s.red();
+- let span2 = s.blue(); // will no longer compile as s is consumed by the previous line
+// becomes
++ let span1 = s.clone().red();
++ let span2 = s.blue();
+```
+
+### Deprecated `Spans` type removed (replaced with `Line`) ([#426])
+
+[#426]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/issues/426
+
+`Spans` was replaced with `Line` in 0.21.0. `Buffer::set_spans` was replaced with
+`Buffer::set_line`.
+
+```diff
+- let spans = Spans::from(some_string_str_span_or_vec_span);
+- buffer.set_spans(0, 0, spans, 10);
+// becomes
++ let line - Line::from(some_string_str_span_or_vec_span);
++ buffer.set_line(0, 0, line, 10);
+```
+
+## [v0.23.0](https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/releases/tag/v0.23.0)
+
+### `Scrollbar::track_symbol()` now takes an `Option<&str>` instead of `&str` ([#360])
+
+[#360]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/issues/360
+
+The track symbol of `Scrollbar` is now optional, this method now takes an optional value.
+
+```diff
+- let scrollbar = Scrollbar::default().track_symbol("|");
+// becomes
++ let scrollbar = Scrollbar::default().track_symbol(Some("|"));
+```
+
+### `Scrollbar` symbols moved to `symbols::scrollbar` and `widgets::scrollbar` module is private ([#330])
+
+[#330]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/issues/330
+
+The symbols for defining scrollbars have been moved to the `symbols` module from the
+`widgets::scrollbar` module which is no longer public. To update your code update any imports to the
+new module locations. E.g.:
+
+```diff
+- use ratatui::{widgets::scrollbar::{Scrollbar, Set}};
+// becomes
++ use ratatui::{widgets::Scrollbar, symbols::scrollbar::Set}
+```
+
+### MSRV updated to 1.67 ([#361])
+
+[#361]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/issues/361
+
+The MSRV of ratatui is now 1.67 due to an MSRV update in a dependency (`time`).
+
+## [v0.22.0](https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/releases/tag/v0.22.0)
+
+### `bitflags` updated to 2.3 ([#205])
+
+[#205]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/issues/205
+
+The `serde` representation of `bitflags` has changed. Any existing serialized types that have
+Borders or Modifiers will need to be re-serialized. This is documented in the [`bitflags`
+changelog](https://github.com/bitflags/bitflags/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#200-rc2)..
+
+## [v0.21.0](https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/releases/tag/v0.21.0)
+
+### MSRV is 1.65.0 ([#171])
+
+[#171]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/issues/171
+
+The minimum supported rust version is now 1.65.0.
+
+### `Terminal::with_options()` stabilized to allow configuring the viewport ([#114])
+
+[#114]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/issues/114
+
+In order to support inline viewports, the unstable method `Terminal::with_options()` was stabilized
+and `ViewPort` was changed from a struct to an enum.
+
+```diff
+let terminal = Terminal::with_options(backend, TerminalOptions {
+-    viewport: Viewport::fixed(area),
+});
+// becomes
+let terminal = Terminal::with_options(backend, TerminalOptions {
++    viewport: Viewport::Fixed(area),
+});
+```
+
+### Code that binds `Into<Text<'a>>` now requires type annotations ([#168])
+
+[#168]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/issues/168
+
+A new type `Masked` was introduced that implements `From<Text<'a>>`. This causes any code that
+previously did not need to use type annotations to fail to compile. To fix this, annotate or call
+`to_string()` / `to_owned()` / `as_str()` on the value. E.g.:
+
+```diff
+- let paragraph = Paragraph::new("".as_ref());
+// becomes
++ let paragraph = Paragraph::new("".as_str());
+```
+
+### `Marker::Block` now renders as a block rather than a bar character ([#133])
+
+[#133]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/issues/133
+
+Code using the `Block` marker that previously rendered using a half block character (`'▀'``) now
+renders using the full block character (`'█'`). A new marker variant`Bar` is introduced to replace
+the existing code.
+
+```diff
+- let canvas = Canvas::default().marker(Marker::Block);
+// becomes
++ let canvas = Canvas::default().marker(Marker::Bar);
+```
+
+## [v0.20.0](https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/releases/tag/v0.20.0)
+
+v0.20.0 was the first release of Ratatui - versions prior to this were release as tui-rs. See the
+[Changelog](./CHANGELOG.md) for more details.
+
+### MSRV is update to 1.63.0 ([#80])
+
+[#80]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/issues/80
+
+The minimum supported rust version is 1.63.0
+
+### List no longer ignores empty string in items ([#42])
+
+[#42]: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/issues/42
+
+The following code now renders 3 items instead of 2. Code which relies on the previous behavior will
+need to manually filter empty items prior to display.
+
+```rust
+let items = vec![
+    ListItem::new("line one"),
+    ListItem::new(""),
+    ListItem::new("line four"),
+];
+```

-# Fork Status
+# Contribution guidelines
 
-## Pull Requests
+First off, thank you for considering contributing to Ratatui.
 
-**All** pull requests opened on the original repository have been imported. We'll be going through any open PRs in a timely manner, starting with the **smallest bug fixes and README updates**. If you have an open PR make sure to let us know about it on our [discord](https://discord.gg/pMCEU9hNEj) as it helps to know you are still active.
+If your contribution is not straightforward, please first discuss the change you wish to make by
+creating a new issue before making the change, or starting a discussion on
+[discord](https://discord.gg/pMCEU9hNEj).
 
-## Issues
+## Reporting issues
 
-We have been unsuccessful in importing all issues opened on the previous repository.
-For that reason, anyone wanting to **work on or discuss** an issue will have to follow the following workflow :
+Before reporting an issue on the [issue tracker](https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/issues),
+please check that it has not already been reported by searching for some related keywords. Please
+also check [`tui-rs` issues](https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs/issues/) and link any related issues
+found.
 
-- Recreate the issue
-- Start by referencing the **original issue**: ```Referencing issue #[<issue number>](<original issue link>)```
-- Then, paste the original issues **opening** text
+## Pull requests
 
-You can then resume the conversation by replying to this new issue you have created.
+All contributions are obviously welcome. Please include as many details as possible in your PR
+description to help the reviewer (follow the provided template). Make sure to highlight changes
+which may need additional attention, or you are uncertain about. Any idea with a large scale impact
+on the crate or its users should ideally be discussed in a "Feature Request" issue beforehand.
 
-### Closing Issues
+### Keep PRs small, intentional, and focused
 
-If you close an issue that you have "imported" to this fork, please make sure that you add the issue to the **CLOSED_ISSUES.md**. This will enable us to keep track of which issues have been closed from the original repo, in case we are able to have the original repository transferred.
+Try to do one pull request per change. The time taken to review a PR grows exponential with the size
+of the change. Small focused PRs will generally be much more faster to review. PRs that include both
+refactoring (or reformatting) with actual changes are more difficult to review as every line of the
+change becomes a place where a bug may have been introduced. Consider splitting refactoring /
+reformatting changes into a separate PR from those that make a behavioral change, as the tests help
+guarantee that the behavior is unchanged.
 
-# Contributing
+### Code formatting
+
+Run `cargo make format` before committing to ensure that code is consistently formatted with
+rustfmt. Configuration is in [`rustfmt.toml`](./rustfmt.toml).
+
+### Search `tui-rs` for similar work
+
+The original fork of Ratatui, [`tui-rs`](https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs/), has a large amount of
+history of the project. Please search, read, link, and summarize any relevant
+[issues](https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs/issues/),
+[discussions](https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs/discussions/) and [pull
+requests](https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs/pulls).
+
+### Use conventional commits
+
+We use [conventional commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) and check for them as
+a lint build step. To help adhere to the format, we recommend to install
+[Commitizen](https://commitizen-tools.github.io/commitizen/). By using this tool you automatically
+follow the configuration defined in [.cz.toml](.cz.toml). Your commit messages should have enough
+information to help someone reading the [CHANGELOG](./CHANGELOG.md) understand what is new just from
+the title. The summary helps expand on that to provide information that helps provide more context,
+describes the nature of the problem that the commit is solving and any unintuitive effects of the
+change. It's rare that code changes can easily communicate intent, so make sure this is clearly
+documented.
+
+### Run CI tests before pushing a PR
+
+Running `cargo make ci` before pushing will perform the same checks that we do in the CI process.
+It's not mandatory to do this before pushing, however it may save you time to do so instead of
+waiting for GitHub to run the checks.
+
+### Sign your commits
+
+We use commit signature verification, which will block commits from being merged via the UI unless
+they are signed. To set up your machine to sign commits, see [managing commit signature
+verification](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/managing-commit-signature-verification/about-commit-signature-verification)
+in GitHub docs.
 
 ## Implementation Guidelines
 
+### Setup
+
+Clone the repo and build it using [cargo-make](https://sagiegurari.github.io/cargo-make/)
+
+Ratatui is an ordinary Rust project where common tasks are managed with
+[cargo-make](https://github.com/sagiegurari/cargo-make/). It wraps common `cargo` commands with sane
+defaults depending on your platform of choice. Building the project should be as easy as running
+`cargo make build`.
+
+```shell
+git clone https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui.git
+cd ratatui
+cargo make build
+```
+
+### Tests
+
+The [test coverage](https://app.codecov.io/gh/ratatui/ratatui) of the crate is reasonably
+good, but this can always be improved. Focus on keeping the tests simple and obvious and write unit
+tests for all new or modified code. Beside the usual doc and unit tests, one of the most valuable
+test you can write for Ratatui is a test against the `TestBackend`. It allows you to assert the
+content of the output buffer that would have been flushed to the terminal after a given draw call.
+See `widgets_block_renders` in [tests/widgets_block.rs](./tests/widget_block.rs) for an example.
+
+When writing tests, generally prefer to write unit tests and doc tests directly in the code file
+being tested rather than integration tests in the `tests/` folder.
+
+If an area that you're making a change in is not tested, write tests to characterize the existing
+behavior before changing it. This helps ensure that we don't introduce bugs to existing software
+using Ratatui (and helps make it easy to migrate apps still using `tui-rs`).
+
+For coverage, we have two [bacon](https://dystroy.org/bacon/) jobs (one for all tests, and one for
+unit tests, keyboard shortcuts `v` and `u` respectively) that run
+[cargo-llvm-cov](https://github.com/taiki-e/cargo-llvm-cov) to report the coverage. Several plugins
+exist to show coverage directly in your editor. E.g.:
+
+- <https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ryanluker.vscode-coverage-gutters>
+- <https://github.com/alepez/vim-llvmcov>
+
+### Documentation
+
+Here are some guidelines for writing documentation in Ratatui.
+
+Every public API **must** be documented.
+
+Keep in mind that Ratatui tends to attract beginner Rust users that may not be familiar with Rust
+concepts.
+
+#### Content
+
+The main doc comment should talk about the general features that the widget supports and introduce
+the concepts pointing to the various methods. Focus on interaction with various features and giving
+enough information that helps understand why you might want something.
+
+Examples should help users understand a particular usage, not test a feature. They should be as
+simple as possible. Prefer hiding imports and using wildcards to keep things concise. Some imports
+may still be shown to demonstrate a particular non-obvious import (e.g. `Stylize` trait to use style
+methods). Speaking of `Stylize`, you should use it over the more verbose style setters:
+
+```rust
+let style = Style::new().red().bold();
+// not
+let style = Style::default().fg(Color::Red).add_modifier(Modifiers::BOLD);
+```
+
+#### Format
+
+- First line is summary, second is blank, third onward is more detail
+

+### Deprecation notice
+
+We generally want to wait at least two versions before removing deprecated items, so users have
+time to update. However, if a deprecation is blocking for us to implement a new feature we may
+*consider* removing it in a one version notice.
+
 ### Use of unsafe for optimization purposes
 
-**Do not** use unsafe to achieve better performances. This is subject to change, [see.](https://github.com/tui-rs-revival/tui-rs-revival/discussions/66)
-The only exception to this rule is if it's to fix **reproducible slowness.**
-
-## Building
-
-[cargo-make]: https://github.com/sagiegurari/cargo-make "cargo-make"
-
-`ratatui` is an ordinary Rust project where common tasks are managed with [cargo-make].
-It wraps common `cargo` commands with sane defaults depending on your platform of choice.
-Building the project should be as easy as running `cargo make build`.
-
-## :hammer_and_wrench: Pull requests
-
-All contributions are obviously welcome.
-Please include as many details as possible in your PR description to help the reviewer (follow the provided template).
-Make sure to highlight changes which may need additional attention or you are uncertain about.
-Any idea with a large scale impact on the crate or its users should ideally be discussed in a "Feature Request" issue beforehand.
-
-## Committing
-
-To avoid any issues that may arrise with the CI/CD by not following the [conventional commit](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) syntax, we recommend to install [Commitizen](https://commitizen-tools.github.io/commitizen/).\
-By using this tool you automatically follow the configuration defined in [.cz.toml](.cz.toml).
-
-Additionally, we're using [cargo-husky](https://github.com/rhysd/cargo-husky) to automatically load pre-push hook, which will run `cargo make ci` before each push. It will load the hook automatically when you run `cargo test`. If `cargo-make` is not installed, it will install it for you.\
-This will ensure that your code is formatted, compiles and passes all tests before you push. If you want to skip this check, you can use `git push --no-verify`.
+We don't currently use any unsafe code in Ratatui, and would like to keep it that way. However, there
+may be specific cases that this becomes necessary in order to avoid slowness. Please see [this
+discussion](https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/discussions/66) for more about the decision.
 
 ## Continuous Integration
 
-We use Github Actions for the CI where we perform the following checks:
+We use GitHub Actions for the CI where we perform the following checks:
+
 - The code should compile on `stable` and the Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV).
 - The tests (docs, lib, tests and examples) should pass.
 - The code should conform to the default format enforced by `rustfmt`.
 - The code should not contain common style issues `clippy`.
 
-You can also check most of those things yourself locally using `cargo make ci` which will offer you a shorter feedback loop.
+You can also check most of those things yourself locally using `cargo make ci` which will offer you

-## Tests
+## Relationship with `tui-rs`
 
-The test coverage of the crate is far from being ideal but we already have a fair amount of tests in place.
-Beside the usual doc and unit tests, one of the most valuable test you can write for `ratatui` is a test against the `TestBackend`.
-It allows you to assert the content of the output buffer that would have been flushed to the terminal after a given draw call.
-See `widgets_block_renders` in [tests/widgets_block.rs](./tests/widget_block.rs) for an example.
+This project was forked from [`tui-rs`](https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs/) in February 2023, with the
+[blessing of the original author](https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs/issues/654), Florian Dehau
+([@fdehau](https://github.com/fdehau)).
+
+The original repository contains all the issues, PRs, and discussion that were raised originally, and
+it is useful to refer to when contributing code, documentation, or issues with Ratatui.
+
+We imported all the PRs from the original repository, implemented many of the smaller ones, and
+made notes on the leftovers. These are marked as draft PRs and labelled as [imported from
+tui](https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22imported+from+tui%22).
+We have documented the current state of those PRs, and anyone is welcome to pick them up and
+continue the work on them.
+
+We have not imported all issues opened on the previous repository. For that reason, anyone wanting
+to **work on or discuss** an issue will have to follow the following workflow:
+
+- Recreate the issue
+- Start by referencing the **original issue**: ```Referencing issue #[<issue number>](<original
+  issue link>)```
+- Then, paste the original issues **opening** text
+
+You can then resume the conversation by replying to this new issue you have created.

+# Ratatui
+
+[Ratatui][Ratatui Website] is a crate for cooking up terminal user interfaces in Rust. It is a
+lightweight library that provides a set of widgets and utilities to build complex Rust TUIs.
+Ratatui was forked from the [tui-rs] crate in 2023 in order to continue its development.
+
 ## Installation
 
+Add `ratatui` as a dependency to your cargo.toml:
+
 ```shell
-cargo add ratatui --features all-widgets
+cargo add ratatui
 ```
 
-Or modify your `Cargo.toml`
-
-```toml
-[dependencies]
-ratatui = { version = "0.21.0", features = ["all-widgets"]}
-```
-
-Ratatui is mostly backwards compatible with `tui-rs`. To migrate an existing project, it may be
-easier to rename the ratatui dependency to `tui` rather than updating every usage of the crate.
-E.g.:
-
-```toml
-[dependencies]
-tui = { package = "ratatui", version = "0.21.0", features = ["all-widgets"]}
-```
+Ratatui uses [Crossterm] by default as it works on most platforms. See the [Installation]
+section of the [Ratatui Website] for more details on how to use other backends ([Termion] /
+[Termwiz]).
 
 ## Introduction
 
-`ratatui` is a terminal UI library that supports multiple backends:
+Ratatui is based on the principle of immediate rendering with intermediate buffers. This means
+that for each frame, your app must render all widgets that are supposed to be part of the UI.
+This is in contrast to the retained mode style of rendering where widgets are updated and then
+automatically redrawn on the next frame. See the [Rendering] section of the [Ratatui Website]
+for more info.
 
-* [crossterm](https://github.com/crossterm-rs/crossterm) [default]
-* [termion](https://github.com/ticki/termion)
-* [termwiz](https://github.com/wez/wezterm/tree/master/termwiz)
+You can also watch the [FOSDEM 2024 talk] about Ratatui which gives a brief introduction to
+terminal user interfaces and showcases the features of Ratatui, along with a hello world demo.
 
-The library is based on the principle of immediate rendering with intermediate buffers. This means
-that at each new frame you should build all widgets that are supposed to be part of the UI. While
-providing a great flexibility for rich and interactive UI, this may introduce overhead for highly
-dynamic content. So, the implementation try to minimize the number of ansi escapes sequences
-generated to draw the updated UI. In practice, given the speed of `Rust` the overhead rather comes
-from the terminal emulator than the library itself.
+## Other documentation
 
-Moreover, the library does not provide any input handling nor any event system and you may rely on
-the previously cited libraries to achieve such features.

 ## Quickstart
 
 The following example demonstrates the minimal amount of code necessary to setup a terminal and
 render "Hello World!". The full code for this example which contains a little more detail is in
-[hello_world.rs](./examples/hello_world.rs). For more guidance on how to create Ratatui apps, see
-the [Docs](https://docs.rs/ratatui) and [Examples](#examples). There is also a starter template
-available at [rust-tui-template](https://github.com/tui-rs-revival/rust-tui-template).
+the [Examples] directory. For more guidance on different ways to structure your application see
+the [Application Patterns] and [Hello World tutorial] sections in the [Ratatui Website] and the
+various [Examples]. There are also several starter templates available in the [templates]
+repository.
+
+Every application built with `ratatui` needs to implement the following steps:
+
+- Initialize the terminal
+- A main loop to:
+  - Handle input events
+  - Draw the UI
+- Restore the terminal state
+
+The library contains a [`prelude`] module that re-exports the most commonly used traits and
+types for convenience. Most examples in the documentation will use this instead of showing the
+full path of each type.
+
+### Initialize and restore the terminal
+
+The [`Terminal`] type is the main entry point for any Ratatui application. It is a light
+abstraction over a choice of [`Backend`] implementations that provides functionality to draw
+each frame, clear the screen, hide the cursor, etc. It is parametrized over any type that
+implements the [`Backend`] trait which has implementations for [Crossterm], [Termion] and
+[Termwiz].
+
+Most applications should enter the Alternate Screen when starting and leave it when exiting and
+also enable raw mode to disable line buffering and enable reading key events. See the [`backend`
+module] and the [Backends] section of the [Ratatui Website] for more info.
+
+### Drawing the UI
+
+The drawing logic is delegated to a closure that takes a [`Frame`] instance as argument. The
+[`Frame`] provides the size of the area to draw to and allows the app to render any [`Widget`]
+using the provided [`render_widget`] method. After this closure returns, a diff is performed and
+only the changes are drawn to the terminal. See the [Widgets] section of the [Ratatui Website]
+for more info.
+
+### Handling events
+
+Ratatui does not include any input handling. Instead event handling can be implemented by
+calling backend library methods directly. See the [Handling Events] section of the [Ratatui
+Website] for more info. For example, if you are using [Crossterm], you can use the
+[`crossterm::event`] module to handle events.
+
+### Example
 
 ```rust
-fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
-    let mut terminal = setup_terminal()?;
-    run(&mut terminal)?;
-    restore_terminal(&mut terminal)?;
+use std::io::{self, stdout};
+
+use ratatui::{
+    backend::CrosstermBackend,
+    crossterm::{
+        event::{self, Event, KeyCode},
+        terminal::{
+            disable_raw_mode, enable_raw_mode, EnterAlternateScreen, LeaveAlternateScreen,
+        },
+        ExecutableCommand,
+    },
+    widgets::{Block, Paragraph},
+    Frame, Terminal,
+};
+
+fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
+    enable_raw_mode()?;
+    stdout().execute(EnterAlternateScreen)?;
+    let mut terminal = Terminal::new(CrosstermBackend::new(stdout()))?;
+
+    let mut should_quit = false;
+    while !should_quit {
+        terminal.draw(ui)?;
+        should_quit = handle_events()?;
+    }
+
+    disable_raw_mode()?;
+    stdout().execute(LeaveAlternateScreen)?;
     Ok(())
 }
 
-fn setup_terminal() -> Result<Terminal<CrosstermBackend<Stdout>>, Box<dyn Error>> {
-    let mut stdout = io::stdout();
-    enable_raw_mode()?;
-    execute!(stdout, EnterAlternateScreen)?;
-    Ok(Terminal::new(CrosstermBackend::new(stdout))?)
-}
-
-fn restore_terminal(
-    terminal: &mut Terminal<CrosstermBackend<Stdout>>,
-) -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
-    disable_raw_mode()?;
-    execute!(terminal.backend_mut(), LeaveAlternateScreen,)?;
-    Ok(terminal.show_cursor()?)
-}
-
-fn run(terminal: &mut Terminal<CrosstermBackend<Stdout>>) -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
-    Ok(loop {
-        terminal.draw(|frame| {
-            let greeting = Paragraph::new("Hello World!");
-            frame.render_widget(greeting, frame.size());
-        })?;
-        if event::poll(Duration::from_millis(250))? {
-            if let Event::Key(key) = event::read()? {
-                if KeyCode::Char('q') == key.code {
-                    break;
-                }
+fn handle_events() -> io::Result<bool> {
+    if event::poll(std::time::Duration::from_millis(50))? {
+        if let Event::Key(key) = event::read()? {
+            if key.kind == event::KeyEventKind::Press && key.code == KeyCode::Char('q') {
+                return Ok(true);
             }
         }
-    })
+    }
+    Ok(false)
+}
+
+fn ui(frame: &mut Frame) {
+    frame.render_widget(
+        Paragraph::new("Hello World!").block(Block::bordered().title("Greeting")),
+        frame.area(),
+    );
 }
 ```
 
+Running this example produces the following output:
+
+![docsrs-hello]
+
+## Layout
+
+The library comes with a basic yet useful layout management object called [`Layout`] which
+allows you to split the available space into multiple areas and then render widgets in each
+area. This lets you describe a responsive terminal UI by nesting layouts. See the [Layout]
+section of the [Ratatui Website] for more info.
+
+```rust
+use ratatui::{
+    layout::{Constraint, Layout},
+    widgets::Block,
+    Frame,
+};
+
+fn ui(frame: &mut Frame) {
+    let [title_area, main_area, status_area] = Layout::vertical([
+        Constraint::Length(1),
+        Constraint::Min(0),
+        Constraint::Length(1),
+    ])
+    .areas(frame.area());
+    let [left_area, right_area] =
+        Layout::horizontal([Constraint::Percentage(50), Constraint::Percentage(50)])
+            .areas(main_area);
+
+    frame.render_widget(Block::bordered().title("Title Bar"), title_area);
+    frame.render_widget(Block::bordered().title("Status Bar"), status_area);
+    frame.render_widget(Block::bordered().title("Left"), left_area);
+    frame.render_widget(Block::bordered().title("Right"), right_area);
+}
+```
+
+Running this example produces the following output:
+
+![docsrs-layout]
+
+## Text and styling
+
+The [`Text`], [`Line`] and [`Span`] types are the building blocks of the library and are used in
+many places. [`Text`] is a list of [`Line`]s and a [`Line`] is a list of [`Span`]s. A [`Span`]
+is a string with a specific style.
+
+The [`style` module] provides types that represent the various styling options. The most
+important one is [`Style`] which represents the foreground and background colors and the text
+attributes of a [`Span`]. The [`style` module] also provides a [`Stylize`] trait that allows
+short-hand syntax to apply a style to widgets and text. See the [Styling Text] section of the
+[Ratatui Website] for more info.
+
+```rust
+use ratatui::{
+    layout::{Constraint, Layout},
+    style::{Color, Modifier, Style, Stylize},
+    text::{Line, Span},
+    widgets::{Block, Paragraph},
+    Frame,
+};
+
+fn ui(frame: &mut Frame) {
+    let areas = Layout::vertical([Constraint::Length(1); 4]).split(frame.area());
+
+    let line = Line::from(vec![
+        Span::raw("Hello "),
+        Span::styled(
+            "World",
+            Style::new()
+                .fg(Color::Green)
+                .bg(Color::White)
+                .add_modifier(Modifier::BOLD),
+        ),
+        "!".red().on_light_yellow().italic(),
+    ]);
+    frame.render_widget(line, areas[0]);
+
+    // using the short-hand syntax and implicit conversions
+    let paragraph = Paragraph::new("Hello World!".red().on_white().bold());
+    frame.render_widget(paragraph, areas[1]);
+
+    // style the whole widget instead of just the text
+    let paragraph = Paragraph::new("Hello World!").style(Style::new().red().on_white());
+    frame.render_widget(paragraph, areas[2]);
+
+    // use the simpler short-hand syntax
+    let paragraph = Paragraph::new("Hello World!").blue().on_yellow();
+    frame.render_widget(paragraph, areas[3]);
+}
+```

 # Creating a Release
 
+Our release strategy is:
+
+> Release major versions with detailed summaries when necessary, while releasing minor versions
+> weekly or as needed without extensive announcements.
+>
+> Versioning scheme being `0.x.y`, where `x` is the major version and `y` is the minor version.
+
 [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/ratatui) releases are automated via [GitHub
 actions](.github/workflows/cd.yml) and triggered by pushing a tag.
 
-1. Record a new demo gif. The preferred tool for this is [ttyrec](http://0xcc.net/ttyrec/) and
-   [ttygif](https://github.com/icholy/ttygif). [Asciinema](https://asciinema.org/) handles block
-   character height poorly, [termanilizer](https://www.terminalizer.com/) takes forever to render,
-   [vhs](https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs) handles braille
-   characters poorly (though if <https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs/issues/322> is fixed, then
-   it's probably the best option).
+1. Record a new demo gif if necessary. The preferred tool for this is
+[vhs](https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs) (installation instructions in README).

-   ttygif demo.rec

+   vhs examples/demo2.tape
    ```
 
-   Then upload it somewhere (e.g. use `vhs publish tty.gif` to publish it or upload it to a GitHub
-   wiki page as an attachment). Avoid adding the gif to the git repo as binary files tend to bloat

+## Alpha Releases
+
+Alpha releases are automatically released every Saturday via [cd.yml](./.github/workflows/cd.yml)
+and can be manually be created when necessary by triggering the [Continuous
+Deployment](https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/actions/workflows/cd.yml) workflow.
+
+We automatically release an alpha release with a patch level bump + alpha.num weekly (and when we
+need to manually). E.g. the last release was 0.22.0, and the most recent alpha release is
+0.22.1-alpha.1.
+
+These releases will have whatever happened to be in main at the time of release, so they're useful
+for apps that need to get releases from crates.io, but may contain more bugs and be generally less
+tested than normal releases.
+
+See [#147](https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/issues/147) and
+[#359](https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/359) for more info on the alpha release process.

+# Examples
+
+This folder might use unreleased code. View the examples for the latest release instead.
+
+> [!WARNING]
+>
+> There may be backwards incompatible changes in these examples, as they are designed to compile
+> against the `main` branch.
+>
+> There are a few workaround for this problem:
+>
+> - View the examples as they were when the latest version was release by selecting the tag that
+>   matches that version. E.g. <https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/tree/v0.26.1/examples>.
+> - If you're viewing this file on GitHub, there is a combo box at the top of this page  which
+>   allows you to select any previous tagged version.
+> - To view the code locally, checkout the tag. E.g. `git switch --detach v0.26.1`.
+> - Use the latest [alpha version of Ratatui] in your app. These are released weekly on Saturdays.
+> - Compile your code against the main branch either locally by adding e.g. `path = "../ratatui"` to
+>   the dependency, or remotely by adding `git = "https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui"`
+>
+> For a list of unreleased breaking changes, see [BREAKING-CHANGES.md].
+>
+> We don't keep the CHANGELOG updated with unreleased changes, check the git commit history or run
+> `git-cliff -u` against a cloned version of this repository.
+
+## Design choices
+
+The examples contain some opinionated choices in order to make it easier for newer rustaceans to
+easily be productive in creating applications:
+
+- Each example has an App struct, with methods that implement a main loop, handle events and drawing
+  the UI.
+- We use color_eyre for handling errors and panics. See [How to use color-eyre with Ratatui] on the
+  website for more information about this.
+- Common code is not extracted into a separate file. This makes each example self-contained and easy
+  to read as a whole.
+
+Not every example has been updated with all these points in mind yet, however over time they will
+be. None of the above choices are strictly necessary for Ratatui apps, but these choices make
+examples easier to run, maintain and explain. These choices are designed to help newer users fall
+into the pit of success when incorporating example code into their own apps. We may also eventually
+move some of these design choices into the core of Ratatui to simplify apps.

+//! # [Ratatui] Async example
+//!
+//! This example demonstrates how to use Ratatui with widgets that fetch data asynchronously. It
+//! uses the `octocrab` crate to fetch a list of pull requests from the GitHub API. You will need an
+//! environment variable named `GITHUB_TOKEN` with a valid GitHub personal access token. The token
+//! does not need any special permissions.
+//!
+//! <https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens#creating-a-fine-grained-personal-access-token>
+//! <https://github.com/settings/tokens/new> to create a new token (select classic, and no scopes)
+//!
+//! This example does not cover message passing between threads, it only demonstrates how to manage
+//! shared state between the main thread and a background task, which acts mostly as a one-shot
+//! fetcher. For more complex scenarios, you may need to use channels or other synchronization
+//! primitives.
+//!
+//! A simple app might have multiple widgets that fetch data from different sources, and each widget
+//! would have its own background task to fetch the data. The main thread would then render the
+//! widgets with the latest data.
+//!
+//! The latest version of this example is available in the [examples] folder in the repository.
+//!
+//! Please note that the examples are designed to be run against the `main` branch of the Github
+//! repository. This means that you may not be able to compile with the latest release version on
+//! crates.io, or the one that you have installed locally.
+//!
+//! See the [examples readme] for more information on finding examples that match the version of the
+//! library you are using.

+// This example shows the full range of RGB colors that can be displayed in the terminal.
+//
+// Requires a terminal that supports 24-bit color (true color) and unicode.
+//
+// This example also demonstrates how implementing the Widget trait on a mutable reference
+// allows the widget to update its state while it is being rendered. This allows the fps
+// widget to update the fps calculation and the colors widget to update a cached version of
+// the colors to render instead of recalculating them every frame.
+//
+// This is an alternative to using the `StatefulWidget` trait and a separate state struct. It
+// is useful when the state is only used by the widget and doesn't need to be shared with
+// other widgets.

-//! How to use a panic hook to reset the terminal before printing the panic to
-//! the terminal.
+//! # [Ratatui] Panic Hook example
 //!
-//! When exiting normally or when handling `Result::Err`, we can reset the
-//! terminal manually at the end of `main` just before we print the error.
+//! The latest version of this example is available in the [examples] folder in the repository.
 //!
-//! Because a panic interrupts the normal control flow, manually resetting the
-//! terminal at the end of `main` won't do us any good. Instead, we need to
-//! make sure to set up a panic hook that first resets the terminal before
-//! handling the panic. This both reuses the standard panic hook to ensure a
-//! consistent panic handling UX and properly resets the terminal to not
-//! distort the output.
+//! Please note that the examples are designed to be run against the `main` branch of the Github
+//! repository. This means that you may not be able to compile with the latest release version on
+//! crates.io, or the one that you have installed locally.
 //!
-//! That's why this example is set up to show both situations, with and without
-//! the chained panic hook, to see the difference.
+//! See the [examples readme] for more information on finding examples that match the version of the
+//! library you are using.

+//!
+//! Prior to Ratatui 0.28.1, a panic hook had to be manually set up to ensure that the terminal was
+//! reset when a panic occurred. This was necessary because a panic would interrupt the normal
+//! control flow and leave the terminal in a distorted state.
+//!
+//! Starting with Ratatui 0.28.1, the panic hook is automatically set up by the new `ratatui::init`
+//! function, so you no longer need to manually set up the panic hook. This example now demonstrates
+//! how the panic hook acts when it is enabled by default.
+//!
+//! When exiting normally or when handling `Result::Err`, we can reset the terminal manually at the
+//! end of `main` just before we print the error.
