I will spend the next couple weeks focusing on ScottPlot development. The major goal will be getting the first ScottPlot 5 release published on NuGet. I will use this issue to track goals and progress along the way.

• To prepare for this period of exclusive focus I backed away from ScottPlot for the last few weeks to catch up on all my other projects. Issues and PRs were open for longer than typical, but I thank everyone for their patience!

• It's unclear if I'll spend much in the ScottPlot Discord during this period, but time will tell. I've never focused so many days on a single project like this before.

Goals

• Address Issues and PRs: Take care of the critical and simple ones, and label the rest After #2304 so they can be addressed after this period of focused effort concludes
• Publish a ScottPlot 4 Release (version 4.1.60)
• ScottPlot 4 API docs: https://scottplot.net/doc/v4/api/
• ScottPlot 5 developer cookbook: Setup the continuous integration system to build and deploy a special development version of the ScottPlot 5 cookbook on every push to the main branch https://dev.scottplot.net/cookbook/5.0/
• Refactor the difficult parts: Working in these classes is extremely difficult and takes many hours, so use these days to improve the hard-to-modify sections: text rendering, layout system, multi-axis system, etc.
• Setup the Demo Apps: At least get the WinForms one working
• Recipe and Refactor: Start adding cookbook examples and refactor as things feel odd.
• Resolve TODOs: Review all TODOs and address the issues that need to be fixed before the first release
• Publish: Setup GitHub Actions to build and push ScottPlot 5.0.0-beta to NuGet 🚀
• Documentation: Update ScottPlot.NET website and GitHub readme files
