v1.5.8: Bug fixes and minor improvements

What's Changed

• Fixed time-gapped plots have first and last data off the drawing area (#90)
• Fixed volume bars have OHLC style tooltips by implementing a tooltip generator for volume bars (#94)
• Fixed plot builders using the data axis color settings to update the shared time axis colors. Moved configuring the shared axis colors into ChartBuilder (#98)
• Update the hosted Javadoc URL (#87)

Full Changelog

v1.5.6...v1.5.7

What's Changed

1. Adds new builders for previously unsupported annotations
   • XYDataImageBuilder (for DateAxis (with time gaps) only - see issue #77)
   • XYDrawableBuilder
   • XYImageBuilder
   • XYPolygonBuilder
   • XYShapeBuilder (for DateAxis (with time gaps) only - see issue #69)
   • XYTitleAnnotation
2. Adds ability to set the XYArrowBuilder arrow length and tip radius.
3. Adds solution for synchronizing crosshairs on combined plot shared-axis sub-plots (see ChartCombinedAxisClickDispatcher and README).
4. Adds more gridline control.
5. Adds date tick label format control using java.text.SimpleDateFormat or java.text.DateFormat.
6. Adds a convenience, minimal date format, date tick label formatter (see MinimalDateFormat and README)
7. Migrates the jfreechart-builder-demo solution into this repo.
   • To reduce the development and release burden.
   • Without this, commits and releases in two separate repos must be managed.
   • Adds visibility of the demo/test app.
   • See JFreeChartBuilderDemo.
8. Tech-debt cleanups:
   • Breaking changes:
     • Rename LineBuilder to MarkerBuilder for reflecting the underlying jfreechart ValueMarker.
     • XYTimeSeriesPlotBuilder's line() method renamed to marker()
     • XYTimeSeriesPlotBuilder and XYTimeSeriesPlotBuilderElements "line" references renamed to "marker"
     • Remove gridLines() noGridLines() showGridLines() from XYTimeSeriesPlotBuilderElements but risk is low as this is an internal class.
     • Add new adapters sub-package.
     • Move data-structure classes to types sub-package.
   • Fixes to continue supporting Java 8 per JFreeChart v1.5.3 minimum requirement.
   • Add missing Javadoc
9. By default major gridlines are now configured ON with default styling.
10. Extracts a few convenience color constants to BuilderConstants.
11. General README updates.
