A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

*Doodle <https://github.com/nacular/doodle/releases/tag/v0.6.0|0.6.0> released*

*Desktop Support (Alpha)*
Doodle now supports Desktop and leverages Skia for fast, accurate rendering. This means apps can target desktop via the JVM. Support is still early and not ready for production. There are some missing features--like Accessibility, and others that are partially implemented (i.e. drag-drop). However, overall support is sufficiently complete to begin testing with. So please try this out and report bugs.

A key goal for Doodle is to provide as much cross-platform code sharing as possible. That's why Web and Desktop share the same rendering model, and therefore widgets. All widgets written in common code can be used on both platforms.
• Desktop and Web share the same rendering model and widgets
• Apps written in `common` code can be fully shared between Web and Desktop
*Kotlin 1.5.0 Support*
Kotlin support has been moved from 1.4.x to 1.5.30.

• New support for <https://github.com/nacular/doodle/blob/master/Core/src/commonMain/kotlin/io/nacular/doodle/drawing/FontLoader.kt#L16|font family lists> when loading Fonts
• New UI Dispatcher (<https://github.com/nacular/doodle/blob/master/Browser/src/jsMain/kotlin/io/nacular/doodle/coroutines/Dispatchers.kt#L8|web>, <https://github.com/nacular/doodle/blob/master/Desktop/src/jvmMain/kotlin/io/nacular/doodle/coroutines/Dispatchers.kt#L9|desktop>) for work that must be done on the UI thread
• New ImageModule (<https://github.com/nacular/doodle/blob/master/Browser/src/jsMain/kotlin/io/nacular/doodle/application/Modules.kt#L130|web>, <https://github.com/nacular/doodle/blob/master/Desktop/src/jvmMain/kotlin/io/nacular/doodle/application/Modules.kt#L87|desktop>) to encapsulate image support.
• <https://github.com/nacular/doodle/blob/master/Core/src/commonMain/kotlin/io/nacular/doodle/controls/panels/ScrollPanel.kt#L26|ScrollPanelBehavior> now has access to <https://github.com/nacular/doodle/blob/master/Core/src/commonMain/kotlin/io/nacular/doodle/controls/panels/ScrollPanel.kt#L55|ScrollPanel> children, layout, etc.
