This release adds the ability to launch a game from the Desktop game list via the right-click menu, a new settings option to toggle the Vulkan Geometry Shader, a new preset screen positioning option, a preliminary fix on Desktop for environments that have multiple languages installed where the wrong language was displayed instead of the primary one, and a couple of minor backend bug fixes.
Finally, the Windows clang version based off of the msys2 system environment is now compiled with QT 6.8.0.

For use with Bravely Offline, see the README.
Windows users have the choice of using the msvc version (compiled with the Microsoft Visual Studio compiler), the clang version (compiled with Clang/LLVM), or the gcc version (compiled with GCC). Feel free to use the one that performs best for you.
This is an experimental build with minimal testing with an emphasis on the desktop versions that focuses on updating the functionality and the majority of the third-party dependencies found in PabloMK7's fork to more modern versions, even if they're bleeding edge. There may be performance improvements, or there may be dragons.
As this is less of a Canary project and more of a YOLO one with very little support offered, if you want to be safe, make sure to keep backups of your save games and save states just in case. Troubleshooting tips can also be found in the README.
