Warning
This stable release is rather old now, but CEmu is far from dead, we just don't make releases often - if you want to try the latest features, check out the nightly!

Fun fact: did you know that we recently went over 211 commits? 🤓

Note that v1.3 should be last release before any new major one (planned to be v2.0 with source-level debugging, for C and TI-Basic code, no kidding!)
