   We reached 42 commits on the staging branch for the incoming ./play.it 2.27.0 feature release, this means it is time for a first release candidate: https://forge.dotslashplay.it/play.it/scripts/-/merge_requests/1782
   
   Here is a copy of the changelog:
   
   ### Deprecation notices
   
   * Support for the following deprecated functions is dropped:
   - context_specific_value
   - icons_linking_postinst
   - organize_data
   - use_archive_specific_value
   * Support for the following message functions is dropped, see "New wrapper for messages display" for more details:
   - print_warning
   - print_error
   * archive_get_type is deprecated, archive_type should be used instead. See "Changes related to archives" for more details.
   * The legacy global variables ARCHIVE and PKG should no longer be used. See "Improvements of the context system" for more details.
   * The functions context_archive and context_package are deprecated. See "Improvements of the context system" for more details.
   * The variable APP_xxx_TYPE_VARIANT is no longer supported, GAME_ENGINE should be used instead. It can usually be omitted, like with APP_xxx_TYPE_VARIANT.
   
   ### New wrapper for messages display
   
   * A new function is provided to display all messages: print_message. It expects a priority level as its first argument:
   - print_message 'error' $message replaces print_error ; printf $message
   - print_message 'warning' $message replaces print_warning ; printf $message
   - print_message 'info' $message replaces printf $message
   
   ### Changes related to archives
   
   * The presence of an optional archive can be checked using a dedicated function: archive_is_available
   * The type of an archive is retrieved using a new function: archive_type. Unlike the previous function (archive_get_type), this will not trigger an error if no type is set for the given archive.
   
   ### Improvements related to icons extraction
   
   * A new function is provided to get the full path to an icon file: icon_full_path
   * Most functions related to icons extraction now take an icon identifier instead of the path to an icon file.
   * Reliance on the global variable WRESTOOL_OPTIONS is dropped.
   
   ### Improvements of the context system
   
   * A new function is provided to set the current archive: set_current_archive
   * A new function is provided to set the current package: set_current_package
   * The functions used to get the current context have been renamed:
   - context_archive → current_archive
   - context_package → current_package
   
   ### Support for Visionaire engine
   
   * A game script can rely on Visionaire engine support by setting GAME_ENGINE='visionaire' or by setting a value to VISIONAIRE_NAME. Since the engine value falls back to visionaire when VISIONAIRE_NAME is set, GAME_ENGINE can usually be omitted.
   * Default values are set for multiple variables:
   - APPLICATIONS_LIST
   - APP_xxx_EXE
   - CONTENT_LIBS_BIN_PATH
   - CONTENT_LIBS_BIN_FILES
   - CONTENT_GAME_BIN_FILES
   - CONTENT_GAME_DATA_FILES
   - CONTENT_DOC_DATA_PATH
   - CONTENT_DOC_DATA_FILES
   - PACKAGES_LIST
   - PKG_DATA_ID
   - PKG_DATA_DESCRIPTION
   - PKG_BIN_DEPS
   - PKG_BIN_DEPENDENCIES_LIBRARIES
   * For native Linux games, the used of system SDL is forced.
   * For WINE games, SDL_VIDEODRIVER is prevented from taking the value wayland.
   
   ### Improvements specific to WINE games
   
   * A new compatibility link is added in the WINE user directory: Local Settings/Application Data → AppData/Local.
