2.9 Release Candidate 4

This should be the final testing round for 2.9.0. Once this round is done, 2.9.0 will be released, and any subsequent fixes will be released as patches.

Some other miscellaneous things to keep in mind:

• The automated release pipeline is mostly broken right now, so the staging manifests of the launcher are not being updated right now, and packaging is being performed manually. ETA for a fix is unknown.
• There is a new and improved™ vanilla in the works, so please stay tuned for that.

What's New

• Fonts will automatically load from base/fonts and its subdirectories at start time
• Add option for disabling stickers
• Reworked custom position dropdown

Breaking Changes

• Stickers will no longer load DRO-style. In DRO, the sticker image is an image located in the character folder named as the character's showname. This is no longer supported. Instead, you must place your sticker in a directory named sticker inside the appropriate misc or theme folder, and the sticker image must be named after the folder name of the character instead of the showname.
• Judge button (WT/CE) animations are now prefixed with _bubble
• Hardcoded stylesheets have been moved into the theme stylesheets. If your theme has no need to override these stylesheets, you should remove the stylesheet files from your theme.
