This is a maintenance release that mostly consists of bug fixes and a few QoL improvements.

• Use Vulkan by default on Windows. Previous version used Direct3D 12 by default due to a change in the SDL library, which didn't seem to work correctly for many Windows 10 users.

• Windows version now asks to choose the rendering backend on startup. This is necessary because we can't provide a reliable default and fallback for this platform due to the state of its GPU drivers.

• Fixed toggling fullscreen from the options menu causing the game window to rapidly switch back and forth between fullscreen and windowed modes.

• Fixed some minor background rendering errors, in particular in the non-OpenGL backends.

• Fixed a crash that occurred when attempting to enter the Stage Practice menu for a difficulty that the user has never played before.

• Fixed the binary releases not working on some old CPUs that don't support AVX instructions.

• The Switch homebrew build is back.

• Improved FPS limiter accuracy on some systems.

• Fixed "System" language option always defaulting to English on some systems.

• Implemented dialogue title cards for bosses. Better late than never, I suppose.

• Added options to adjust the background brightness, contrast, and saturation.

• Greatly improved visibility of Iku's cloud bullets in Stage 5.

• Minor localization improvements. In particular, the French text now fits within the HUD layout.

• Made saving progress and configuration more robust, which should fix rare progress loss when saving is interrupted (e.g. due to power loss or forced shutdown).
