Here is some news from the latest developments in Gambas 3...

There is now a new class, "Paint", that acts like the "Draw" class, but draws 
things with anti-aliasing.

The Paint interface is different from the Draw interface. It is very inspired 
from the Cairo library interface (with some diabolical variations of course).

There is a new example, named "Painting", that will shows you what can be done 
with this new class.

Both gb.qt4 and gb.gtk implement the Paint interface.

At the moment, Paint can draw on Picture, DrawingArea, and Image (this is 
new).

In the future, Paint will draw on Printer (gb.gtk will have print support!), 
and will generate SVG, Postscript and Pdf documents, in both components!

Laurent Carlier has added shader support to the OpenGL components, but I can't 
tell more, I have very few knowledge about that... Maybe he will give us more 
explanations. :-)

You can see that as sort of Mithra / Christmas / Hanouka / Aïd / (insert your 
prefered religious or non-religious day there) present.

Enjoy all that, and please report any bug or strangeness as usual.
