Windows95 v5.0.1 has been released, featuring Windows 95 running on Electron, compatible with macOS, Linux, and Windows. This update addresses a race condition from v5.0.0 that caused the app to cold-boot instead of resuming from a saved state. The issue arose when the emulator had not fully loaded before the restore_state() function executed, leading to a failed restore. The new version now waits for the emulator-loaded event before attempting to restore. Users can download Windows95 v5.0.1 x64 from the provided source.

Changelog for Windows95:
Resolved a race condition in v5.0.0 that caused the packaged app to cold-boot instead of resuming from a saved state. During a cold launch (due to Gatekeeper scans or cold disk cache), v86 had not fully loaded the wasm/BIOS/disk before restore_state() executed, leading to a silent failure in the restoration and starting the VM anew. The app now waits for the emulator-loaded event from v86. (#367)
