PathPlanner v2025.0.0 Beta 4

This beta release includes the ability to export paths/autos as an image or animated GIF, more PathPlannerAuto trigger factories, and various bug fixes and minor improvements.

Export Paths to PNG/GIF from GUI

Paths and autos can no be exported to a PNG or animated GIF. The export supports light mode for printability as well as a transparent background for PNGs. Paths and autos can be exported using the export button at the top of the path/auto tree.

More PathPlannerAuto triggers (Java implementation only for now)

• Time before reaching event
• Distance from event
• Distance from event end (useful for specifically the end of zoned events)
