11.0

Experimental lights, color correction in the map viewer, a welcome screen for new users, and signed Windows executables.

NET .9

This release updates to the .NET 9 runtime. This brings a breaking change in form of enabling CET support, which may cause it to crash on unpatched Windows installations.

Signed binaries

The Windows executables are now signed!
