0.81.2 release notes

Release date: 2024-07-21

Summary

This patch release fixes a critical keyboard regression bug in the classic Bitmap Brothers game Gods. The regression was accidentally introduced in the 0.81.1 release (#3777).

The game is very difficult to play without this fix, as holding down the movement keys may result in delayed movement, jerky start/stop motion, or no movement at all after a bit of playing.

Gods — with glshader = crt-auto-arcade to emulate the original Amiga look
