Here you go [@everyone](https://community.muos.dev/groups/everyone)… This might look like a _small_ point release, but under the hood it has one of the **biggest changes we have ever made**. A ton of things have been moved internally to give everyone a cleaner, more stable base for the future!

- RetroAchievements logins are preserved automatically
- Power users can still enable the **RetroArch Freedom** toggle in Advanced Settings

# Final Message

This release isn’t about _flashy_ new features (though there are plenty) it is more about laying a **new foundation**. From here on in, things should be easier, safer, and more maintainable for everyone.

Oh and one last note… the **supporter screen will never be skippable**. It exists to credit the people who have put in their **time, energy, money, and effort** to keep this community project alive. Without them, there simply wouldn’t _ **be** _ MustardOS. I hate sounding like a broken record but a lot of you still need to know that this is free and built in spare time. Wild that people complain about that, but here we are, giving you another massive update anyway.
