v0.9.0a2

Breaking changes

DeviceCollector renamed to init_device

Functionality is the same, just the name is different

# old
from ophyd_async.core import DeviceCollector
with DeviceCollector():
    ...
# old
from ophyd_async.core import init_devices
with init_devices():
    ...

sim.demo renamed to sim

# old
from ophyd_async.sim.demo import SimMotor
# new
from ophyd_async.sim import SimMotor

AreaDetector support TIFF and JPEG as well as HDF writers

The initialisation arguments for HDF change slightly as a result

from ophyd_async.epics import adaravis
# old
det = adaravis.AravisDetector(prefix, path_provider, drv_suffix="CAM:", hdf_suffix="HDF:")
# new
det = adaravis.AravisDetector(prefix, path_provider, drv_suffix="CAM:", fileio_suffix="HDF:")

Load/Save has been rewritten

Docs for this will follow in the 0.9 production release
