Rhombus v1.1

Rhombus version 1.1 is now available! We are pleased to announce Rhombus 1.1 is now available from https://rhombus-lang.org/. Rhombus is a general-purpose programming language that is easy to use and uniquely customizable. As of this release: Add annot and annot.def as ways to define an annotation without directly writing meta-time (i.e., macro) code. Add as as a binding form, which is sometimes more readable for naming than using && and provides a way to shadow an identifier that is bound as a binding form. Change class to bind inherited names using the corresponding superclass or interface reference. Change space.enforest to adjust scopes in the same way as for a macro transformer when applying an identifier handler. ffi: Add an initialized-array variant of new. pict: Change explain_anim to add a ~label_as argument. Change Pict.rebuilt to replace as rebuilt, and also add a ~as_rebuilt argument to select the old or new bevavior. The Pict.rebuild method also supports ~as_rebuilt. Improve magic_move and cross_fade to better handle paragraph points and multiple instances of a child pict. slideshow: Add slide_transition and continued page numbering. Thank you to community members who contributed this release.
