#0.4.8 Release notes

This release brings major improvements in platform support, engine stability, and developer-facing APIs.

Web platform support was significantly expanded with Emscripten integration, including rendering/input/audio support and related build pipeline updates.

Core engine capabilities were extended with JSON and INI support, TTF font loading, UTF-8/localization improvements, and additional GUI functionality (including panel behavior and editbox/input handling updates).

Rendering and math subsystems received substantial work, including many fixes and refinements in sprite/HwSprite paths, blending, transforms, matrix/quaternion operations, and edge-case handling for small/empty resources.

Audio and input became more robust through mixer/rendering fixes, out-of-bounds and null-dereference protection, improved error handling, and multiple correctness fixes in keyboard/mouse/controller flows.

Cross-platform reliability was improved across Windows, Linux, and macOS with a large set of build and runtime fixes. Toolchain/project updates also include better CMake compatibility and C++20 build support.
