ApiHawk
meta: The .NET 8 SDK is now required for working with BizHawk. The VS installer will automatically include this with VS2022 updates.
Fix confusing failures when an ApiContainer prop is accidentally marked with [RequiredApi]/[OptionalApi]
Ext. tools now receive ToolFormUpdateType.General events regularly while paused (and while unpaused! you should have been checking the enum anyway)
If you're subclassing ToolFormBase, this will have no impact on your existing code, but you can choose to override GeneralUpdate to make use of it
Fix signature of IMemoryApi.WriteFloat (the value param is now float and not double—the implementation was converting it to a float anyway)
Add an overload IGuiApi.WithSurface(DisplaySurfaceID, Action<IGuiApi>) and deprecate the old one
For the time being, there will be no difference between using the lambda parameter as instructed, and discarding it and continuing to make calls to whatever IGuiApi instance you were using.
Remove the deprecated IGameInfoApi library
Remove the deprecated attributes [RomWhitelist], [SingleRom(CoreSystem, string)], and [SingleSystem(CoreSystem)]
Rewrite most of GuiApi (the implementation of IGuiApi). Parity with the old implementation is a goal, but there may be bugs
