v1.86.5

Maintenance Release

This is mostly a maintenance release to target CI problems and add minor tweaks and fixes.

CI was refactored and simplified. Now it became much easier to push new releases.
From the user perspective - all release artefacts are now located in zip files.

• java-libraries.zip - contains all jars with sources and javadocs;
• native-libraries.zip - contains all native libraries required for ImGui Java binding;
• native-libraries-with-freetype.zip - same as native-libraries.zip, but libraries are built to use with FreeType font renderer.

What's Changed

• Added example of Canvas Editor by @davidalmarinho in #126
• Fixed calcTextSize to be used in a static context by @davfsa in #143
• Added GLFW callback freeing by @theVerySharpFlat in #146
• Fixed invalid setNextPlotFormatY in 142e312
• Added convenient methods to ImColor helper in ff9b88d
• Fixed dependency tree issue for imgui-java-app in 8a560ca
• Added arithmetic operations to ImVec2 and ImVec4 in 47baed3

Future Plans

To justify, why there is no major updates in binding, like updating to the latest Dear ImGui version, it's required to say about future plans:

• Binding Generation API - there is a PR #132, which presents a new way of binding creation. Instead of writing everything manually, there will be a declarative API to generate almost everything. Generator will be integrated with cimgui. When the API will come, updating process will be drastically improved.
• Decouple Extensions - ImGui Java has a lot of extensions to use. The problem here is that all of those extensions are hardcoded into one binding bundle. There is a point to decouple extensions and make them fully optional to use. First of all, that decision will result in reducing of the library size.

After those things - yeah, ImGui Java and all of its extensions will be updated to the latest versions for sure. 😊
