10.36 update is now available + P11 status update

Hi everybody,

New update for Playnite 10 is available. I originally planned to make it only to update controller input and web views dependencies, but in the end added some other stuff as well. I was kind of feeling burnt out by P11 so it was nice change of pace.

As far Playnite 11, alpha is still not ready I had to take break from it because it feels like work with no end in sight and also did some work on Playnite related project that I'll reveal some time after P11 release. I estimate that there's still about a month of work needed to get Alpha out.

I'm also changing what will individual test releases include since I have to rework some things (theming for example) and I don't want to delay Alpha even more since I will really need SDK feedback before doing some other work on P11. So current plan is:

• Alpha: core features complete, without theming and without Fullscreen mode.

• Beta 1: remaining Desktop features implemented, full theming support.

• Beta 2: Fullscreen mode.

• RC: Addon DB (in app and website), polishing.

As always, thank you very much for continued support! Hopefully my next post here in July will be about Alpha release.
