That was close wasn't it? I know you are not used to so close releases but we have a lot of new things to demonstrate so why not? This release is following the first official stable release of shadNet 0.1.0, so we have some online playability available (yes Bloodborne fans, online Bloodborne is now officially available). There are also a tons of fixes to different areas of emu , you can check the list below. The release is dedicated to our friend Stephen, who is taking a break from shadPS4 due of his studies. Stephen if you are reading this we already miss you ;/
