INPUT/KEYBOARD: Add support for multimedia keys – Extended RETROK_ values with 18 new items, commonly found on
“multimedia” keyboards. Mapping added for SDL, X11, Wayland, dinput, winraw keymaps.

macOS: Default Accessibility on if VoiceOver is on
iOS: default audio sync on again, also more mfi logging
iOS: Fix Import Content
iOS: Fix ios-arm64 nightly build crash
iOS: Import content from iCloud
iOS: Fix #16485 crash on startup
iOS: Display app icon in app icon picker in materialui
iOS/tvOS: Various QoL improvements
iOS/tvOS: Fix a couple more path name mangling bugs
iOS/tvOS: Better way of packaging Frameworks
iOS/tvOS: define PACKAGE_VERSION to be App Store MARKETING_VERSION
iOS/tvOS: Fix keyboard handling for app store builds
iOS/tvOS: Fix escaping the sandbox for jailbroken devices
iOS/tvOS: default accessibility on if voice over is enabled
iOS/tvOS: better way of reporting available memory
macOS/iOS/tvOS: enable text-to-speech using AVSpeechSynthesizer.
tvOS: Fix scaling for 720p
MENU: New function in Quick Menu: Add to Playlist
MENU/XMB: New theme: FlatUX, designed to merge FlatUI and Retroactive themes into a single, unified design
NETWORKING/RETROPAD CORE: Fix socket close method
PIXMAN: Update pixman-private.h – patch to fix build issue with musl
PLAYLIST: Cleanup ‘Add to Playlist’ (#16495)
SCANNING: Fix for scanning PSP ISOs (and probably few others)
SAVES: Fix core config saving
SAVES: Fix save new config name when core loaded
SAVESTATES: Increase save state chunk size for all platforms – Even a class 6 or class 10 SD card can handle reads and writes on the order of MB/s, which means a 4KB chunk size is just wasting time in syscalls. This could maybe be fixed with a buffering reader but I don’t feel comfortable tweaking libretro-common’s VFS to handle that. Instead, I thought it would be good to both remove an ifdef and increase the chunk size to 128KB. For cores with small states this will should make state saving virtually instantaneous, and for cores with large states it should be a 32x speedup.
VIDEO: Fix crash when using threaded video – for Mesa 23.2 and later
VIDEO/GL: Fix reinitialization of the threaded gl drivers
VIDEO/VULKAN: Add support for A2R10G10B10 HDR format
VIDEO/VULKAN: Implement HDR readback – screenshot support
WAYLAND: Ignore configure events during splash (fix not remembering window size)
WAYLAND: Use frontend signal handler to quit (fix quit by window close)
WAYLAND: Commit viewport resizes (window resize is more responsive)
UWP: Align MESA to alpha-2-resfix – Remove wrong resolution special handling for OPENGL
UWP: 4K fix: align MESA reading of ClientRect to retroarch procedure, this fixes max resolution being set to 1080p. As reading must be done inside an UI thread and is in fact an async operation which might delay frame generation, the reading itself is doen once and cached, give that changing resolution while the app is running is an unlikely corner-case use
WINDOWS: Windows mouse ungrab must release the mouse instead of confine it to the current desktop (#16488)
WINDOWS: Fix numlock/pause key release events
AI: Fix narrator language when AI translation and menu languages are different
DISK CONTROL: Add option to disable initial disk change

REMOTE RETROPAD: add display for analog axes, indication of inputs already pressed
SAVES: Allow combining saves in content dir with save sorting
SHADER: Added rolling scan line simulation based on the shader subframe feature. This is implemented with a scrolling scissor rect rather than in the shader itself as this is more efficient although may not work for every shader pass – we may need an option to exclude certain passes. The implementation simply divides the screen up by the number of sub frames and then moves the scissor rect down over the screen over the number of sub frames
UWP: Enable HAVE_ACCESSIBILITY for UWP builds
UWP: Allow UWP build to work with a modified version of Mesa Gallium D3D12
VIDEO: Add subframe shader support for Vulkan/GLcore/DX10-11-12, enabling shaders to run at higher framerate than the content
