Welcome to Processing 4.5.3. Also welcome to me saying a little something about our releases moving forward <3
There have been so many new contributors, and there has been so much new activity in the community with helping find
bugs, fix bugs, reporting issues, and general "alive-ness" which makes me feel positive & good things

In addition to many maintainance fixes, some of the more notable changes are:

@Sumamasonia added a print() method to PMatrix which will be helpful for debugging (and also cleaned up the implementation!)
@Stefterv notably created a Gradle Plugin for Processing Libraries
@jSdCool made it so you can run a Processing sketch from anywhere on Windows systems
@avinxshKD helped move several of our core libraries to Maven Central
@hxrshxz fixed some SVG errors which is very wow.
@SalmaneKhalili helped us fix a bug when switching to Android Mode, and also found some leaks to fix

Anyways. Do take a look at this big long list, and check out the full changelog as well.
