0.9.0

Hello everyone! Hope you all are doing well!

This release of Bazaar features quite a few improvements to performance and a reworked curated section. It now supports markdown with support for tables, images, app tiles, and remote markdown articles as well! These enhancements were mostly driven by Alexander, so please do donate to him if you can! https://ko-fi.com/alexandervanhee

Please note that the reworked curated section breaks compatibility with all configs made for previous Bazaar versions. Take a look at the new example. (The links were found on google images; we love racoons)

Also, friend of the project Melody has created a mascot for Bazaar!!

She's a hedgehog! Isn't she cute? She doesn't have a name yet 👀

Melody is a very talented vector artist. She has a ko-fi here! https://ko-fi.com/melodyofdelphi

And finally, as always, if you'd like to donate to me, I'd be very appreciative! Every little bit helps: https://ko-fi.com/kolunmi

I hope you enjoy using bazaar as much as I enjoy making it!

Thanks for reading, and have a great day!
