Textualize/textual v4.0.0

The Streaming Release

on GitHub

The highlight of this release is the new Markdown.append method which can be used to efficiently stream markdown content (like you might get from an LLM).

The Widget.anchor method has changed semantics (and also works much better), which is the reason for the major version bump. This will only impact you if you are actually using that method.

And there are a few fixes and additions. Thanks to the community for these contributions.
