+
+ General:
+ - Avoid using the GNU Gold linker when building ScummVM, (unless the
+ --enable-gold option is given), since it has long-standing issues
+ on some platforms and is now deprecated upstream.
+
+ Asylum:
+ - Fixed crash in Sanitarium main menu, when moving the cursor to the
+ top part of the screen.
+
+ Bladerunner:
+ - Fixed 2x scaling and fullscreen support in non-interactive demo.
+ - Fixed memory leaks that could cause Out of Memory issues on some
+ ports.
+
+ Hopkins:
+ - Fixed a crash when using the elevator to go to other floors.
+
+ MADS:
+ - Fixed Rex Nebular inventory and verb area UIs not updating.
+
+ NGI:
+ - Optimized game resource loading, improving the performance on
+ Android.
+
+ SCI:
+ - Fixed KQ6 CD hi-res drawing glitches.
+
+ SCUMM:
+ - Restored the ScummVM 2.7.0 behavior of allowing all the DOS v2-v4
+ (i.e. Maniac Mansion to Monkey1) EGA titles to be played with the
+ Amiga palette again, using the Render mode game option.
+ - Fixed most of the iMUSE tracks being silent in the Booty Store,
+ in Monkey2.
+ - Fixed an accuracy issue with some character positioning in SCUMMv2
+ and below. This would happen when interacting with the devotee at
+ the airport in Zak McKracken (all releases but the FM-TOWNS one),
+ for instance.
+ - Fixed Moonbase Commander multiplayer mode crashing guests when
+ starting the game.
+ - Fixed pops in Sega CD Monkey1 sound effects.
+ - Fixed saving over an existing save in COMI.
+ - Fixed excessive MIDI messages being sent during iMUSE music volume
+ reduction (e.g. in the Sam & Max intro), which could cause
+ slowed-down, garbled speech when using older, real MIDI hardware.
+ - Fixed an iMUSE crash when loading an older savegame with a sound
+ fade in progress.
+ - Fixed the Jolly Roger enhancement for Monkey1; enabling this
+ enhancement would prevent this flag from appearing when it should
+ no longer be visible anymore, but the fix was incomplete in some
+ VGA floppy releases.
+ - Fixed the enhancement for Smirk's cigar smoke in Monkey1 FM-TOWNS.
+
+ Sky:
+ - Fixed a crash in the intro of Beneath a Steel Sky on some platforms,
+ such as Android.
+
+ Sword1:
+ - Fixed audio balance issue when using the Windows executable option.
+
+ Tetraedge:
+ - Improved OpenGL vs. software rendering support, preventing the
+ engine from erroring out on Android and some other platforms.
+
+ Tinsel:
+ - Fixed Discworld Save/Load menu becoming inaccessible.
+
+ Tucker:
+ - Fixed skipping cutscenes, when the Esc key is mapped.
+
+ TwinE:
+ - Fixed crash when restarting a game from the launcher a second time.
+ - Fixed pressing Space in normal mode not triggering Use/Talk action.
+
+ Android port:
+ - Enabled NEON support by default, resulting in better performance for
+ the vast majority of older Android devices.
+ - Worked around a bug in ARMv7a Android 6.0 and below, which could
+ cause some game options to be missing, for example.
+ - Increased stack allocation for Android Java thread, benefiting game
+ engines that heavily use the stack.
+
+ Atari port:
+ - Fixed crash with certain audio settings.
+
+ iOS/iPadOS port:
+ - Fixed Fluidsynth soundfont existence check failing with sandboxed
+ filesystems.
