This release adds support for four more languages, reduces the memory footprint under some circumstances and enables a few more emulators.
On Android the default audio driver has been changed from AAudio to OpenSL ES which should decrease audio latency on many devices. There is however a new menu entry in the Sound settings menu that makes it possible to easily revert to AAudio in case of issues with the OpenSL ES driver. For Android there is now also experimental support for running ES-DE in multi-window mode on tablets and other devices that support this.

In addition to the above there are a number of bug fixes and other minor improvements.

Clang/LLVM and curl should already be included in the base OS installation.
Note that there is a strange issue specifically on FreeBSD 14.1 where the rlottie library refuses to build. This can be resolved by the following workaround:
```
echo > external/rlottie/format
```
It's not clear yet whether this is a compiler bug or some other issue.

If you have manually downloaded any of the themes from the [official themes list](https://gitlab.com/es-de/themes/themes-list) then these would need to be downloaded again as they will not contain the necessary information required by the theme downloader. A dialog will be presented to inform you about this and the theme directory will be renamed by adding the _DISABLED extension to its name. To conserve disk space it's a good idea to manually delete these _DISABLED directories outside of ES-DE. Alternatively you could just completely delete the theme from the user interface using the _Y_ button and start a fresh download.
On Android specifically all theme directories that were previously renamed with _DISABLED are automatically deleted every time the theme downloader is started. This is the case as Android prevents direct access to the theme directory due to it being located on application-internal storage, meaning it's not possible to manually delete these directories.

If you have customized a theme by for instance modifying any of its XML files, then this will be highlighted with an exclamation mark and the text _LOCAL CHANGES_ in the theme downloader interface. If you attempt to fetch updates for such a theme you will be asked a question of whether to overwrite your local changes, or whether to cancel. If you have however added additional files to the theme that are not included in the theme repository, then these will not interfere and you can go ahead and fetch theme updates without any risk of having your local files being deleted. But there is a special (although unlikely) situation, if you add files that are not part of the theme repository but that are later added by the theme developer as well, then your local copies of any such files will be ovewritten when fetching theme updates.
