• D3D9/CG: D3D9 Cg driver fixed

We exclude linux/memfd.h header include because we already provide the MFD_ defines in case they are missing
• LINUX/MALI FBDEV: Fix assertion failed on video threaded switch

• NETWORK/NETPLAY/SWITCH: Launch compatibility patch
• NETWORK/UPNP: Attempt support for remaining platforms
• NETWORK/UPNP: Support for IPv4 tunneling

• RETROFW: Exclude unused HAVE_HID for RetroFW
• RETROFW: Support battery indicator on RetroFW

• SHADERS: Shader Preset Loading of Multiple additional #references lines for settings
• SHADERS: Shader Load Extra Parameter Reference Files – this adds the ability to put additional #reference lines inside shader presets which will load additional settings. The first reference in the preset still needs to point at a chain of presets which ends with a shader chain, and subsequent #reference lines will load presets which only have parameter values adjustment. This allows presets to be made with a modular selection of settings. For example with the Mega Bezel one additional reference could point at a preset which contained settings for Night mode vs Day mode, and another reference could point to a preset which contained settings for how much the screen should be zoomed in.
• SHADERS/MENU: Increase shader scale max value
• SCANNER/DC: Fix Redump bin/cue scan for some DC games

• SCANNER/PS1: Improved success rate of Serial scanning on PS1 by adding support for the xx.xxx format
• SCANNER/PS1: Changed return value of detect_ps1_game function to actually return a failure when the Serial couldn’t be extracted. Scanner will then fallback on crc check, and usually ends up finding the games in the database.
• SWITCH: Enable RWAV (WAV audio file) support
• STRING: Do not assume char is unsigned
• TASKS: More thread-awareness in task callbacks
• TASKS: Fix race condition at task_queue_wait
• TVOS: Revised tvOS icons w/ updated alien.
• VFS: Fix various VFS / file stream issues
• VULKAN: Fix more validation errors
• VULKAN: Attempt to fix validation errors with HDR swapchain. Always use final render pass type equal to swapchain format. Use more direct logic to expose if filter chain emits HDR10 color space or not
• VULKAN/ANDROID: Honor SUBOPTIMAL on non-Android since you’d want to recreate swapchains then. On Android it can be promoted to SUCCESS.

SUBOPTIMAL_KHR can happen there when rotation (pre-rotate) is wrong.

• VULKAN/DEBUG: Automatically mark buffer/images/memory with names
• VULKAN/DEBUG: Move over to VK_EXT_debug_utils. Debug marker is deprecated years ago.
• VULKAN/HDR: Fix leak of HDR UBO buffer
• VULKAN/BFI: Fix BFI (Black Frame Insertion) regression
• WINDOWS: Fix exclusive fullscreen video refresh rate when vsync swap interval is not equal to one – refresh rate in exclusive fullscreen mode was being incorrectly multiplied by vsync swap interval, breaking swap interval functionality at the gfx driver level
• WIN32: Do optimization for Windows where we only update the title with SetWindowText when the previous title differs from the current title
• WIN32: Skip console attach when logging to file
• WIN32: Remove black margins with borderless non-fullscreen window
• WIN32/TASKBAR: Release ITaskbarList3 on failed HrInit – pointer wasn’t NULL’d, thus set_window_progress would cause weird behavior
• WII/GX: Fix potential datarace
• WIIU: Implement sysconf and __clear_cache
• WIIU: Add OS memory mapping imports
• UWP: Added launch protocol arg ‘forceExit’ so a frontend can tell an already-running RetroArch UWP instance to quit.
