v0.4.0

Crates.io | Docs

This release has an MSRV of 1.82.

Highlights

As part of an initiative to improve color handling across the ecosystem (and especially within Linebender crates), Vello is now using the new color crate.
This is the first step towards providing richer color functionality, better handling of color interpolation, and more.

This release intentionally uses wgpu 23.0.1 rather than 24.0.0 so that it can match the version used in Bevy 0.15.
