What's New:
New features
- New dialog for creating Flash images, which is also available in the Mobile UI!
- Running as 64bit application on Windows is supported now
- Polish translation is available now
- CX II (/-T/CAS) calculators can now be emulated! However, with the current dumping programs you will not get a complete bootrom and booting the OS will fail.
Improvements
- Multiple files can be sent in the Mobile UI and by dropping them into the main window on desktop
- 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
- 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.
- More accurate emulation of the On button: It's now possible to enter Press-To-Test mode
- Faster saving and loading of snapshots
- More reliable USB file transfers
- The debugger console now includes entered commands in the log
- Support for PIE (position-independent executables) on x86_64. Previously, care needed to be taken that PIE was disabled, otherwise it would crash on start.
- Building the JIT is disabled automatically if the platform does not support it
- Firebird builds on FreeBSD
Bugfixes
- File access on Android got fixed
- Fix placement of keypad buttons in the touchpad area
- Various fixes for the Mobile UI layout

- Fix crash on AArch64/arm64 when executing certain instructions
- The keypad reacts to touch events in the desktop version as well now
- Some places were no longer translated correctly after the introduction of language switching in 1.5
- Keys could get stuck on focus changes. Now they're all released when the keypad loses focus
- The Ctrl key now changes color when pressed
- Emulation speed no longer remains unlimited after a failed file transfer

What's New:
- AI SERVICE: Fix NVDA switching to Powershell on speak
- ANDROID: In Android builds, add input_android_physical_keyboard configuration option and its corresponding menu entry to force a device to act as a physical keyboard. When running on Android, RetroArch considers most devices that emit dpad events as gamepads, even if they also emit other keyboard events; this is usually the right thing to do, but it has the side effect of not letting some actual keyboards (e.g.: Logitech K480) act as such inside RetroArch. This configuration option allows users to manually select a specific input device to act as a physical keyboard instead of a gamepad, which is handy when emulating computers as opposed to consoles.
- APPLE: Add App Category to a few places it should have been
- APPLE/MFI: Prevent crash when controller player index is unset (-1)
- AUTOMATIC FRAME DELAY: Helped delay to decrease easier when it should and helped delay to stay put when it should when triggering pause & menu with or without pause & fast-forward & slow-motion & geometry change

What's New:
General User Interface Tweaks
- Various changes have been made to the ares GUI in an attempt to improve user experience.
- The "Recent Games" list has been updated to show the System name alongside the game names in the "Recent Games" list, avoiding confusion when the same title is available on multiple systems.
- The "Color Bleed" setting is now disabled by default; this option only applies to the SNES core and was causing confusion due to the default settings of ares not being pixel-perfect.
- For those using alternative front-ends, it is now possible to select a shader when launching ares from the command line with the --shader parameter.
- Ares will now attempt to show an error if running on an unsupported processor, rather than silently crashing.
Screen Scaling
- The changes here are significant enough to warrant their own section.
- The multiplier scale settings are now radio buttons, allowing the user to see which option is selected, additionally, a 1x scale option is now provided for those who want the window to be 'actual size' of the emulated framebuffer.
- Available scale sizes are no longer bound by the current monitor size, avoiding the situation where a selected option may disappear if the user changes monitor or resolution, and the resizing code has been updated to prevent the window growing larger than the active display; so you never lose access to the main menu.
- The window resizing logic now avoids un-maximizing the window, if the user has manually done so, even when adaptive sizing is enabled; making it less frustrating to use ares in a maximised window.
- The scaling options have been renamed to better describe their function and two new scaling modes have been added:
- "Center" has been renamed to "Scale (Integer)"
- "Scale" has been renamed to "Scale (Best Fit)"
- A new setting: "Pixel Perfect" has been added, which always displays a 1x scale image in the center of the display, regardless of the window size
- A new setting: "Scale (Fixed)" which will always display an image matching the users selected scale factor (1x, 2x, etc) regardless of screen size.
