Release 5.8.2

2026-10-20

Avalonia System Loading Fixed

• Selecting a system works again — The "Loading system..." overlay no longer stays on screen forever. The game-card template used runtime type casts in its bindings, which Avalonia cannot resolve inside deferred templates; realizing the first card now succeeds and the games are shown.
• Image pack list — The same unsafe binding cast was removed from the image-pack download window.

Packaging

• Patch bundles — Windows and Linux bundles are rebuilt as 5.8.2 with the same framework-dependent single-file layout and bundled LICENSE.txt, README.md and WhatsNew.md.
