This release is a fallback snapshot for Windows. Previously known bugs specific to Windows are fixed in this release.

Since our developers mainly use MacOS and Linux, it might be that future updates to Decker introduce Windows bugs that are not detected or fixed immediately.

This release is meant for these cases.
