Release notes

This sprint we’ve continued to tweak the Android controller support.

We’ve also made some optimizations to build/archive size, if the project used a lot of embedded gameobjects/components.

There are also some quality-of-life fixes, like excluding build folders and better support for requiring standard Lua models.
