# November 2024: Merged winter
<!-- more -->
This month we will discuss
## Development is a bit slower
## Highlights
Please note that this is a big release with several features that requires coordination of several people that spends their free time doing this.
It is a huge endeavor and we can't give any ETA's on when 0.9b will be released and done. We had an internal goal of December but...
- Development is a bit slower
sometimes IRL issues happen that takes away that time (work, family, life, death, love, etc..).
- New website
Everyone in FOSS have to always balance their commitment to free software and still do everything life entails.
- 3DS Emulation - status

- Xenia - status
## New website
- Godot Configurator - status
We secretly soft launched our new website during Halloween.
- Merged Cooker

Check it out and give feedback on the Discord on Lemmy.

## 3DS Emulation - status
We had an internal goal of December but sometimes IRL issues happen that takes away that time (work, family, life, death, love, etc..).
It is a huge endeavor as we are rewriting several aspects of RetroDECK and adding tons of new features. Thus we cannot give any ETA's on when 0.9b will be released and done.

## 3DS Emulation - status
We had secret plans to include Lime3DS into the release of 0.9b.
But as the big Citra forks are merging into one, it feels better to wait until they have sorted everything sorted out and get the best project into RetroDECK proper. When their new repo is up and running we will target that.

## Xenia - status
We are looking into utilizing [UMU Launcher](https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-launcher) for Xenia (and other Wine based systems in the future).
Instead of pulling in all of vanilla Wine into RetroDECK and configuring it, UMU Launcher feels like a better architectural choice that can give more synergies in the future.

We are waiting for the Open Wine Components Team (Heroic Game Launcher, Lutris, Bottles, Lutris, Proton-GE and more) to finish up their flatpak version (they do great work!).

## Godot Configurator - status
## Godot Configurator - status
On the Steam Deck, Game Mode has no included web browser that can be launched via flatpak thus rendering the the wiki links and website links useless in Game Mode. We will probably keep the buttons but only have them shown in Desktop Mode (or any normal Linux Desktop).
### Game Mode – No web browser / markdown viewer
We currently don't feel like we want to ship an entire web browser inside of RetroDECK to remedy it.

We currently do not feel like we want to ship an entire web browser inside of RetroDECK to remedy it.
Instead of a web browser, we are looking into a sophisticated markdown viewer instead to integrate into RetroDECK.
The general thought is if we can provide an option to manually synchronize the entire wiki down to local storage with the click of a button and have it readable no matter if you are online or offline and viewed via the markdown viewer.

Several of the big feature branches are now merged into Cooker proper (creating one big chunky boi).

Having one big cooker now will make it easier to test everything in one go that 0.9b has to offer.

In the future we might utilize the Flathub-beta remote to facilitate easy testing when the cooker is more stable.
