Paella 7 will be a complete rewrite of Paella, aiming several issues

• Allow easier integration in other platforms by leaving out the singleton design pattern.
• Easier styling and accessibility support.
• Reduce the number of dependencies.
• Allow easier long-term maintenance of the project.
• Solve the technical debt of 10 years of development.
