Release v1.9

[tig]

As is tradition, as we converge on a new Release I start a discussion to keep everyone on the same page.

Here's the list of significant issues that will be addressed in v1.9.x:

Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:

MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes
MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards compatible manner
PATCH version when you make backwards compatible bug fixes
Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.

Issues we'd like fixed before release: (all tagged with Milestone v1.9):

I've been travelling (Argentina!). Getthing this out is dependent on these issues being closed:

https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui/milestone/5

#2206 has been challenging; I've been unable to figure out what I broke in the curses driver (see comments in that issue) and now I can't get WSL breakpoints to hit.

[tig]

#2266 is the only remaining issue holding up releasing v1.9.

@BDisp
@tznind

[tig]

Done. See Release: https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui/releases/tag/v1.9.0

[tig]

(Actually, the publish to Nuget action failed due to an expired API key; retrying!)

[tig]

Yay.

Oh, and for the FIRST TIME, I got it right the first time and we actually have a release with a .0 at the end! :-)
