The highlights of Rich 9.0.0 would be a new pager method which will pipe any console output in to the system 'pager'. See this tweet for an example. There's also a new Bar renderable you could use to display a chart in a table. See bars.py for an example of how to use it.

Note this is a major version release so there are some breaking changes to the API -- these are unlikely to impact many people, but please check the changelog below.
