What's Changed

It has been some time since I pushed a release; so this one just bundles all of the outstanding fixes/enhancments together.

This release introduces a major refactor of the code base to modernize it (for Python v3.9+). The change added more then 13,000 lines of code and refactored 70,000 lines. It took a very, very long time to do, but I'm happy how things turned out. It should make it easier for others to adapt and add to the code base. This change also greatly improved the type hinting offered by the library. I debated marking this release v2.0.0 due to the signifgance of it, but will just bump the minor to catch any fallout from the change I may have overlooked.

Please don't hesitate to open a ticket if you find any issus at all.
