Restored support for add-ins, which had been disabled in Pinta 2.0 due to technical limitations. Added a preference (in the `View` menu) for switching between a dark or light color scheme. Added an improved color picker dialog. Added a canvas grid with customizable size, replacing the previous pixel grid. Added ability to choose tile type and edge behavior in tile reflection effect. Added a new "Dithering" effect. Added "Voronoi Diagram" effect. Ported "Vignette" and "Dents" effects from Paint.NET 3.36 (#881, #885). Added "Feather Object" effect (#886, #953). Added "Align Object" effect (#936, #961). Added "Outline Object" effect. Added support for exporting to portable pixmap (`.ppm`) files. Added a nearest-neighbor resampling mode when resizing images. Added support for customizable gradients in the fractal and clouds effects (#578, #678, #683). Added a new `Offset Selection` option to the `Edit` menu to expand or contract the current selection (#661, #740, #746). The Windows build of Pinta now supports loading `.webp` images. Improved zooming behavior with trackpads, including support for the pinch to zoom gesture (#634, #715). The Windows installer is now signed, thanks to the support of SignPath. The brush size and line width settings for many tools can now be adjusted with the ` ` and ` ` keyboard shortcuts. Changed: Due to API changes in GTK4, the File - New Screenshot option now invokes platform-specific tools (the XDG screenshot portal on Linux, and the screenshot tool on maCOS). This is currently unsupported on Windows. When building
