For the Windows users, the scaling issues have finally been sorted out. Use 125% and 250% and whatever weird Windows scaling you want, and it will work. You can safely uncheck the “Disable HiDPI scaling” checkbox in Preferences.
Against my better judgement, I'm posting a release that's native for Apple Silicon. OpenGL is currently broken. Sketches crash immediately. You should only use it if you're a masochist. Or a masochist that likes *extremely fast* but very incomplete software, and won't file bug reports saying "OpenGL is broken". But it's being posted for folks who do not need OpenGL, and want to help.

## New features!
* Re-implement settings.path to support portable versions. [#3948](https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3948), [362](https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/362), [#360](https://github.com/processing/processing4/pull/360), fixed with [1a49263a](https://github.com/processing/processing4/commit/1a49263a94a2d7af2b4686286406f7896d207cd9)
* New downloads for Apple Silicon (incomplete! [#128](https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/128)), and Raspberry Pi (32- and 64-bit). Some things are still broken, so the releases will be on Github but not processing.org/download.
* The design is slowly coming together, with new icons for exported applications, document files (`.pde`, `.pdex`, and `.pdez`), plus the Foundation icon used in the Contributions Manager. This work is still in progress, at least until [#48](https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/48) is closed.
