This is a major new release of Pinta, with large changes to its architecture including porting to GTK4 and libadwaita. Using GTK4 also required porting Pinta to use a new library ([Gir.Core](https://github.com/gircore/gir.core)) for C# bindings to GTK and other GObject libraries, so special thanks goes to @badcel and the @gircore contributors for their excellent work on that project!
This release also coincides with a new and improved [project website](https://www.pinta-project.com), contributed by @rolandixor !
