Add TextInput widget, Interaction* types for interactive widgets

Without a terminal-resetting panic hook there are two main problems when
an application panics:

1.  The report of the panic is distorted because the terminal has not
    properly left the alternate screen and is still in raw mode.

2.  The terminal needs to be manually reset with the `reset` command.

To avoid this, the standard panic hook can be extended to first reset
the terminal.

 ## To be released
 
+## v0.18.0 - 2022-04-24
+
+### Features
+
+* Update `crossterm` to `0.23`
+
+## v0.17.0 - 2022-01-22
+
+### Features
+
+* Add option to `widgets::List` to repeat the hightlight symbol for each line of multi-line items (#533).
+* Add option to control the alignment of `Axis` labels in the `Chart` widget (#568).
+
+### Breaking changes
+
+* The minimum supported rust version is now `1.56.1`.
+
+#### New default backend and consolidated backend options (#553)
+
+* `crossterm` is now the default backend.
+If you are already using the `crossterm` backend, you can simplify your dependency specification in `Cargo.toml`:
+```diff
+- tui = { version = "0.16", default-features = false, features = ["crossterm"] }
++ tui = "0.17"
+```
+If you are using the `termion` backend, your `Cargo` is now a bit more verbose:
+```diff
+- tui = "0.16"
++ tui = { version = "0.17", default-features = false, features = ["termion"] }
+```
+
+`crossterm` has also been bumped to version `0.22`.
+
+Because of their apparent low usage, `curses` and `rustbox` backends have been removed.
+If you are using one of them, you can import their last implementation in your own project:
+* [curses](https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs/blob/v0.16.0/src/backend/curses.rs)
+* [rustbox](https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs/blob/v0.16.0/src/backend/rustbox.rs)
+
+#### Canvas labels (#543)
+
+* Labels of the `Canvas` widget are now `text::Spans`.
+The signature of `widgets::canvas::Context::print` has thus been updated:
+```diff
+- ctx.print(x, y, "Some text", Color::Yellow);
++ ctx.print(x, y, Span::styled("Some text", Style::default().fg(Color::Yellow)))
+```
+
+## v0.16.0 - 2021-08-01
+
+### Features
+
+* Update `crossterm` to `0.20`.
+* Add `From<Cow<str>>` implementation for `text::Text` (#471).
+* Add option to right or center align the title of a `widgets::Block` (#462).
+
+### Fixes
+
+* Apply label style in `widgets::Gauge` and avoid panics because of overflows with long labels (#494).
+* Avoid panics because of overflows with long axis labels in `widgets::Chart` (#512).
+* Fix computation of column widths in `widgets::Table` (#514).
+* Fix panics because of invalid offset when input changes between two frames in `widgets::List` and
+  `widgets::Chart` (#516).

+The UI code is in [examples/demo/ui.rs](https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs/blob/v0.18.0/examples/demo/ui.rs) while the
+application state is in [examples/demo/app.rs](https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs/blob/v0.18.0/examples/demo/app.rs).
 
 If the user interface contains glyphs that are not displayed correctly by your terminal, you may want to run
 the demo without those symbols:
 
 ```
-cargo run --example crossterm_demo --no-default-features --features="crossterm" --release -- --tick-rate 200 --enhanced-graphics false
+cargo run --example demo --release -- --tick-rate 200 --enhanced-graphics false
 ```

+//! How to use a panic hook to reset the terminal before printing the panic to
+//! the terminal.
+//!
+//! 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.
+//!
+//! 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.
+//!
+//! That's why this example is set up to show both situations, with and without
+//! the chained panic hook, to see the difference.
