Full Release Notes Here

(I’d usually try to give a better brief list of what all is changed/new, but I am very busy yesterday/today and there are many changes, so I encourage you to look through the full release notes)

But I atleast want to mention a big thanks to @capdevon for their recent efforts refactoring many areas of the engine and adding some new features (such as the new improvements to Light and Armature debugging), and also big thanks to @richtea for their efforts adding more screenshot tests which have already proven to be helpful in finding bugs during the development and review process.

And as always, thanks to all testers; and especially thanks to anyone who has been helping in the review process. There are still many open PRs that need reviewed that I’d like to have merged in the next few alpha versions if possible, however I will be busier than usual this upcoming month and may have less time to review myself, so help in the review process is more appreciated than ever currently.
