Hi everyone,

Welcome to our first newsletter of 2023!

Lots of exciting things have happened in this first month of the year already.

After adding Linux support in October, we’re now happy to offer macOS support in GdPicture.NET!

Also, with the latest release, we’ve introduced a new SDK architecture.

The reason for this change is the upcoming release of MAUI native support (macOS & Windows) for desktop application developers.
MAUI native support is already available in preview mode for anyone wanting to try its functionalities.
