GNOME 40 🎉

v46 is now available for download.

This is the first release supporting GNOME 40, which means there will be no further feature releases for GNOME 3.38.

It should be fully compatible with GJS 1.68, GNOME Shell 40 and GTK 4.

As always, thanks to contributors of all kinds to GSConnect, and the KDE Connect team!
