Dolphin Progress Release 2407 and 2409

Dolphin Emulator has transitioned from the 5.0 era to a new Release Era, marking its first release in eight years with versions 2407 and 2409. The Progress Reports will now serve as changelogs, detailing notable changes and additions with each release. The latest version, 2409, is available for download, and it introduces support for RetroAchievements, which has been stabilized for release. However, Android support remains problematic, and users are advised to be patient. A recent issue with Google Play has delayed the next update's availability, requiring manual checks by Google. Additionally, some Windows users experienced crashes with version 2407 due to a compatibility issue with the Visual C++ 2022 Redistributable, which can be resolved by reinstalling it. Notable changes in version 2409 include the removal of rounded corners in the emulation render window for Windows 11, improvements to balloon tooltips, and the introduction of Cached Interpreter 2.0, which enhances CPU emulation efficiency. The team continues to work on various improvements and fixes, ensuring a smoother experience for users.
