Out of caution we kept the Ant GitHub Actions in the repository, this PR will remove them and introduce a revised version of the Gradle based GitHub Actions, providing the following.

  • Setup specific to Processing is now stored in a shared action, this will cut down on repeated configuration, if anyone knows a good way to clean up the matrices I would like to know.
  • This PR pulls the configuration files out of Gradle and places them into app/linux similar to macOS and Windows.
  • This PR separates the different platforms in the release action, originally they were done with a matrix but it started to have too many exceptions and platform specific flow that I decided to have a unique job for every platform still with a matrix on the architectures.
  • This PR adds support for flatpak (not yet flathub) and add the .deb file to the release which is used by flatpak and snap.

Closes #890
Closes #1211
and includes #1202

TODO

  • Include the new SVG-based icons for every platform

Follow up tasks

  • Separate out the macOS notarisation step for a future macOS App Store Release
  • Flathub Submission
