Hey folks,

We just released PyQtGraph 0.12.4.  This release includes two of the most
requested features

   1. Remain performant when drawing thick (> 1 pixel) lines
   2. Jupyter support

The jupyter support is enabled with the use of jupyter_rfb plugin, which is
maintained by the VisPy team.  We had some help from them with integrating
their plugin with PyQtGraph and we're quite thankful!

In the performance improvement category, PColorMesh received a substantial
performance improvement.  We can now draw lines > 1 pixel at appropriate
frame rates.  The thick line performance hit is a bit hard to quantify.  If
the line thickness is > 5 pixels, we mandate the use of a round end-cap to
the QPen, which results in a greater performance penalty.  We have modified
the PlotSpeedTest example to use a parameter tree so you can tinker with
the QPen options there and see how performance is affected.  The other
substantial performance improvement we made is the drawing of lines, with
connect='all' when there is the presence of NaN values in the numpy array.

In terms of bug fixes, there are too many to count, but the big ones are we
now have a work-around a new issue in PySide6 6.2.2, we have Python 3.10
support, and have fixed cases where some of the examples would have import
errors.

There were a number of changes in the code-base that should be invisible to
end-users, but are significant enough I feel should be worth mentioning.
PyQtGraph has removed unused imports throughout the entire codebase, and
we've run isort over the entire codebase as well.  These are some of the
first steps in upping the code-quality, and we'll be taking more steps to
this effect.

Lastly, if you are interested in helping maintain pyqtgraph, and have a
history of contributing to the project, please reach out to me.  We can use
more help.  We don't expect maintainers to know the ins and outs of all
portions of the library, there is room for help in many many areas.

Thanks!
Ogi
