0.48.0

Version 0.48 of Spectre.Console has been released!

Several rendering issues have been addressed, such as fixing problems related to rendering inside status causing corrupt output, avoiding exceptions on Rows with no children, as well as addressing rendering bugs in TextPath.

New features have been added, such as the ability to show separators between table rows. Other notable additions include progress bar header and footer support, customizable (and localizable) help providers, and the option to style text and confirmation prompts.
