0.11.0

Release Notes

New feature release in the 0.11.x series.

One significant change in this PR is to add the configuration option extension_initial_dot.
Setting to True will adopt the future default behavior of returning extension entities with
an initial dot (.).

Other notable changes include a significant refactoring of the Analysis module, and a number of
small improvements to error reporting that should add up to simpler debugging for users and
developers.
