This is a complete overhaul of the application (in terms of both architecture and user interface). The exact list of changes is too long to be explicitly listed here, but here are a few highlights:

• New user interface (dark theme, etc.)
• New architecture (use of Solid.js, no more Python server: all operations are performed in the browser)
• New functionalities (aggregation, selection, simplification, KDE, linear regression, etc.)
• The ability to download a stand-alone version of the application (without needing an Internet connection to use it)

The features of the previous version of Magrit are still available (the various portrayal types, PNG / SVG export, project file export, etc.).
