Panel-material-ui 0.12.0

Announcements
1

We are very pleased to announce the release of panel-material-ui 0.12.0. This release marks a milestone as it finally brings parity between panel’s set of base widgets and the equivalent but more modern panel-material-ui versions. Specifically this release adds DateRangePicker and DatetimeRangePicker, which were the last holdouts.

Other than that this release better aligns different component types, converting Avatar and Chip to be button-like widgets. It also introduces a new class of so called “Wrapper” components that wrap child components to add visual effects or overlays, including Transition for animated reveals, Badge for notification indicators, and Tooltip for contextual hints on hover.

It also builds on the work in param 2.4.0 and panel 1.9.0 to bring full static typing of all parameter types and adding the py.typed marker. That isn’t all though, for the full set of changes see the changelog below.

Many thanks to @ahuang11, @senlinyang98-crypto and @philippjfr for their contributions to this release.
