[GemRB-release] GemRB v0.9.0 released!

[Jaka K. <jak...@oc...>]

Greetings!

The GemRB team announces the availability of GemRB 0.9.0!

Over six years in the making, growing in scope with time, the subviews
branch was a true monster. But the quest to lay it to rest has now been
successfully completed, among other things modernizing the GUI, drawing
and input handling. For most use cases, there is no need for the
Widescreen mod any more (see screenshot or video explainer).

Notes to packagers:

Python 3 support has been added.

SDL2 is now the default backend and anyone still on SDL1 is
encouraged to switch.

If you are packaging from git sources, not the archive, either run
`make fetch-demo-data` first or manually include the files. These
are (currently two) bigger assets kept in a separate repository.

There are several changed keys in the config samples — update your
config templates if you're maintaining them separately.


Have a great day
