PR Type
What kind of change does this PR introduce?
What is the current behavior?
Gaphas schedules updates via idle handlers.
What is the new behavior?
Simplify the code by using asyncio tasks.
While updates were automatic with the original implementation (update is performed instantly if not in a GLib main loop), now
view.update()has to be explicitly awaited if not in an asyncio/GLib main loop.This could change how exceptions are propagated.
Due to the change, I did a major version bump.
