Version-4: Announcement

[bolorundurowb]

First off, sorry for the silence around this project, I was busy working on a whole bunch of things. That out of the way, I am working on version 4 which, after a lot of discussions would be making use of Avalonia UI as the GUI lib/framework for the future as it has the lowest resources consumption hit of all the options considered and has evolved over the time the discussion was had.

Second, as the project would be running on .NET Core and cross-platform, significant, breaking changes are necessary. One of which is support for Bitmaps. From version 4 onwards, we'd only work with standards such as XML and JSON and shy away from binary formats as they tend to limit project evolution.

To be ready for the coming changes, please export your existing exam files in the JSON or XML formats as those would receive continued support. In the meantime, I would be accepting and reviewing QoL PRs for version 3 as it fades into the goodnight.
