[KAS] by [@dhardy] is a general purpose UI toolkit; its

initial aim is "old school" desktop apps with good keyboard and touchscreen

support. Unlike many modern immediate-mode UIs, KAS's widgets retain state,

allowing minimal per-frame updates. KAS supports embedded WebGPU graphics now,

and will (eventually) support being embedded within other contexts (requiring

only a supply of input events and implemention of some basic graphics routines).

KAS v0.5 switches to a new crate for text layout,

[KAS-text]. KAS-text is a text layout

engine supporting multi-line editing, shaping and bidirectional text; future

versions will also support formatting. KAS-text is not tied to any particular

raster or render system; its positioned-glyph output is relatively easy to

adapt to crates like `wgpu_glyph` and `gfx_glyph`.
