This major release is a big cleanup of the project. The previously used but unmaintained build systems Premake and Meson have been removed along with supporting files. The also unmaintained XML parsing library has been replaced with its successor, this leads to an API and ABI break for plugins. The project structure has been updated, a coding style has been defined and all source code has been reformatted to adhere to it. These changes should simplify the future development of the application.

A working Plugin SDK has been added, this allows the creation of simple plugins. However, the plugin interface itself is still too limited to add complex widgets without changing the core implementation.

Binaries

Prebuild binaries are available for Windows, Linux and macOS. These have been built by the GitHub CI and are attached to this release.

Source Code

If you need a source code archive, do not use the automatic created archives, they lack the required submodules. Instead, use the attached full source code archives.
