Citron-NEO Git Release (April 29, 2026)

Citron-NEO Git (2026/04/29) has been released, reviving the yuzu emulator with minimal requirements. Key updates include a major Neo Theme overhaul, re-adding game directories, and various performance improvements in the Vulkan video core, such as caching descriptor sets and bindless buffers. Several fixes were implemented, including issues with the mk8d applet and crash problems related to linking. Additionally, a Dummy Thread was added to prevent spinning or deadlocks, and framework updates were made to enhance async rendering. The release is available for download on both x64 and Android platforms.
