Hello, this update improves the whole software performance, memory used and stability.

As a lot of the architecture has been rewritten some regressions can be excepted. So this update is marked as "unstable" and the last update is still available, the time to fix potential regressions. If you see any issue don't hesitate to report on discord, that's faster for small regressions.
