Hangovers

• Normalize widget APIs
  • onValue
    • switch to onValue as main reactive callback instead of mix of onInput / onChange.
  • onKey
    • Use onKey instead of keyPress / keyDown etc callbacks.
  • hover events
    • Use pointer events for onOver callback which will replace existing uses of onHover. This will give a consistent callback and normalise across different pointer types.
    • Use pointer events for onOut callback which will indicate that a pointer has left the vicinity of the widget.
  • Remove older legacy callbacks such as onInput / onMouseDown etc...
  • Stop passing value to onBlur/onFocus/onclick to ensure that developers use the onValue callback to determine the most upto date widget value.
  • Stop extending base interfaces and remove them/
  • Stop allowing Inputproperties etc to be passed down to child widgets, enforce a parent interface.
