    🚨 NEW MESA TURNIP DRIVER V26.0.0-R4 IS LIVE! 🚨

    Big performance wins for Adreno a710/a720 users — especially in Skyline, Strato, Dolphin & PPSSPP! Here’s what’s fresh:

    • ✅ CB overhead bug fixed — no more FPS drops when render passes skip color buffers!
    • 🚀 Smoother emulation across the board — fewer stutters, better frame pacing.
    • 💡 Winlator folks: Switch to `TU_DEBUG=disable_sysmem,gmem` — UNCHECK sysmem, CHECK gmem for max speed.
    • 🎮 All other emulators? Stick with the Gmem driver — it’s still the gold standard.

    ⚠️ Still on old autotuner — if you need the new one, grab v25.3.0 instead.
