This release changelog:

Note for Distributions: The compile time default for LUA game path rewrites has changed
from .daphne to .hypseus. If you use -retropath or -singedir this change will affect you.
The change can be managed/reverted, in the src/CMakeLists.txt file at compile time.
Distributions should address this change on update.

Note: This release contains new files required within the pics folder.
If upgrading, ensure the new files are copied to your existing folder setup.

Note: The default config file for -gamepad has changed to hypinput_gamepad.ini
Ensure you copy any existing config for Gamepads to the new file location.
If the config file does not exist, a new default keymap file will be generated.
This location can be overridden, as previously, with the -keymapfile argument.
