The release notes follow the previous release: the quick install commands, the
full and platform pack tables with file counts and sizes, the standalone
packs, what changed since the previous tag, and the contributors of the
closed issues. `SHA256SUMS.txt` lists the checksums of the full ZIPs before
splitting.
One pack per platform, the full one: the platform's list plus everything its
cores load. Platform-only and per-emulator packs are build options, not
release assets, since a lighter pack means a core that fails with no message.
