New features:
- New dialog for creating Flash images, which is also available in the Mobile UI! (#262)
- Running as 64bit application on Windows is supported now (#234)
- Polish translation is available now (#207)

Improvements:
- Multiple files can be sent in the Mobile UI and by dropping them into the main window on desktop (#279)
Reimplemented emulation speed control: Now it's more accurate, especially on Windows - GitHub actions now performs automated builds for Android (armeabi-v7a and arm64-v8a in one APK), macOS and Windows (32bit and 64bit) on releases and pull requests (#283, #284, #285)
- The "installer" for OS 4.5.3.14 (and later?) works now. It requires fastboot RAM to persist state across reboots, which is now implemented.

- Faster saving and loading of snapshots (#231)
- More reliable USB file transfers
