Warning

please do not use this release! it has been superseded by release 9.

• implement #1 in d54ad07: the touch controls now have their very own settings tab!
• touch controls are now always visible by default, so that gamepads that Godot recognizes as such, but does not map correctly out of the box (e.g. GameSir X5 Lite), dont require any tomfoolery to get working. just use the touch controls to navigate to the controller binding tab and map the problematic controller! afterwards, visit Settings->Touch Controls->Visibility and set it to Auto or Hide!
• the legacy touch controls visibility behaviour, of auto-hiding the touch controls when a gamepad is connected, is still available as Auto under Settings->Touch Controls->Visibility.
• users now have the choice to force hide the touch controls by setting Settings->Touch Controls->Visibility to Hide. if one accidentally happens to set the Visibility to Hide, without having another means of input available, they are encouraged to tap and hold the reset options button at the bottom of the screen!
• implement a touch controls haptic feedback toggle.
• implement #63: the option to show the touch controls during level transitions, for speedrun reasons, now exists
• rework poorly designed Tap here to reset bindings. button on the controller bindings page to require holding it down to reset the bindings.

in total, this release closes issues #1, #53, #63 and a problem explained in a Ko-Fi donation. if youre interested in what will come next, feel free to check out my roadmap!
