- We've got a bit of an announcement to make. Our fearless leader, NayamAmarshe, took a well-deserved vacation (refer to release 2.9.9).

This means that development on upscayl will be on until he's back and ready to code again.
- We know this might be a bit of a bummer, but we promise to keep you updated on the situation. In the meantime, feel free to explore the latest version of upscayl!
