Bump version number to 0.2.0 (#1492) * Change deb installation from crates.io to git There have been a number of issues an PRs opened since the cargo-deb installation does not work with the latest version from crates.io. To help out users until the crates.io version is updated, the installation instructions have been temporarily changed to install `cargo-deb` through github. * Revert cargo-deb install back to use crates.io Since `cargo-deb` has been updated on crates.io it is now possible to just install it from crates.io and build Alacritty's deb without having to rely on github. * Update dependencies This fixes an `illegal hardware instruction (core dumped)` error when building in release mode. * Remove redundant copy when selecting font_key * Bump version number to 0.2.0 Since the Scrollback branch introduces some major changes, this bumps the version number from 0.1.0 to 0.2.0. The versions of Alacritty have not been updated regularly to this point, so the scrollback branch is a good point in time to start updating Alacritty's version on a regular basis. Further changes to the readme, like dropping the 'alpha' status and updating it to 'beta' could also be introduced with this branch. This way there will be a clean cut which updates everything as soon as scrollback is merged. Building versions is another thing which would be a good thing to start reasonably quickly. However starting this on the main branch after scrollback has been merged seems like a more reliable way to move forward. This fixes #1240. * Add a CHANGELOG file A CHANGELOG file has been added to offer a bit more transparency over which features have been changed, added and potentially removed in Alacritty. There are various formats available for the CHANGELOG file but the most common and sensible one seems to be the one defined by https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0. Following the template proposed by this it should be possible to create a clear CHANGELOG which makes it simple for new contributors to figure out exactly which formatting should be used for it. Since there have been quite a few changes to Alacritty already, not all changes have been added to the changelog. However a few entries have been ported just to give a bit of an example what the format should look like. This also helps with the 0.2.0 version since it will not be completely empty in the changelog. This fixes #1534. * Update CHANGELOG This updates the CHANGELOG to include the changes introduced by 43882ade33d4c14ee7248e489a2d33395faaa0b1.
