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.

Version 5.0.1 of Windows95 has been released. This incarnation of Windows 95 is built using Electron and is compatible with macOS, Linux, and Windows.
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)
