Changes since 0.9.1

break change

An adjustment was made to the grid_line event as part of the external UI protocol:
the cells array might now end with a [' ', attr, 0] item with a repeat count of
zero . This is need by the TUI to disambiguate final space from a line from just
clearing the line, which will make a difference when copying text using the terminal
emulators’ builtin primary selection support.

external UIs is ignore can safely ignore such an empty item and most ui already handle this fine .
But it could break UIs which has an assert to validate the cell count to be bigger
than zero, or similar.
