Fwd: [wxFormBuilder/wxFormBuilder] Release v4.0.0 - v4.0.0

I'm a happy user of wxFormBuilder (wFB) so I'm excited to start using 
this new version. I use it to mock up my frames, dialogs, and panels, 
generate C++ source, and then derive classes from them with the actual 
business logic.

Repository: wxFormBuilder/wxFormBuilder 
<https://github.com/wxFormBuilder/wxFormBuilder> · Tag: v4.0.0 
<https://github.com/wxFormBuilder/wxFormBuilder/tree/v4.0.0> · Commit:

<https://github.com/wxFormBuilder/wxFormBuilder/commit/0efcecf0214321ce94469a47d0e0ceef131de602> 
· Released by: sodevel <https://github.com/sodevel>

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.
