Packager Notes
- Lua 5.5 is now supported. Lua 5.2 - 5.3 are deprecated
- C++ version bumped to 17
- Big endian systems are now supported
- A cmake option WITH_MIDI_DEVICE has been added to allow support for midi
synthesisers, using RtMidi
- A cmake option FETCH_UNICODE_FONT has been added that can be used to bundle
the default CorsixTH unicode font (GoNoto Sans Kurrent Regular). Do not use this
alongside the WITH_FONT cmake option
- A cmake option WITH_TRACY has been added for Tracy profiling (requires Tracy
0.13.1). This should always be off unless you are specifically debugging
performance
Note: This is expected to be our last release supporting SDL2 + SDL2_Mixer. From 0.71.0 we will be moving to SDL3 + SDL3_Mixer.

Note for Windows users
Windows Smartscreen has been noted during preview releases to trigger more readily. In order to suppress it, you will need to 'unblock' the executable by right clicking it and choosing properties. Afterwards, press OK to apply the change.
Please note our Mac build currently has hardware midi support (RtMidi) disabled
