v1.17.0

What's Changed

This release adds a host of new features, including a new graphing widget (thanks to @mcb64). An update to make the PYDMDrawingLine more intuitive. A new menu to change PyDMSlider properties while in use. Password validation was added to PyDMRelatedDisplayButton and PyDMShellCommand (thanks to @lvhuihui1988). The update also makes adding additional rules to custom widgets easier (thanks to @rcardenes).

Note:
This release makes changes to the PYDMDrawingLine, which will increase its usability but which may alter the position or size of current lines in use. We recommend checking any screens that currently use PYDMDrawingLine after updating to v1.17.0.
