[wish] Consider a new release ?

[skywind3000]

It's been a year since last release, is there any plan for a new one ?
I'm very excited about the new features and bug fixes, and want to give them a try.
but I don't have necessary knowledge to build this project myself.

In support of a new release, a potential DK64 TAS is waiting on support for Ares core which has significantly more accurate framebuffer emulation which is key for creating a proof-of-concept for an exploit.

We're well past due a release candidate, so now that some important PRs have been merged, we've agreed on Discord that this weekend is as good a time as any for RC1.
If any devs have a questionable change ready to go, now's the time to make the call on whether to get it in and field-tested or to wait until after release.

The next release will be 2.10 per our odd convention, since Encore (Citra) and ChannelFHawk are now fully-functional. We also have 2 new WIP cores, PUAE and Stella, as well as rewrites of Genplus-gx and QuickNes and regular updates for several others.
As for regression testing, we're of course focused on TAStudio, but also host rendering/graphics. Hopefully a reasonably popular RC will help us (and by us I mean @CasualPokePlayer) fix any driver incompatibilities before release.
