🙏Thanks to all contributers of axmol include financial sponsors: @scorewarrior,@peterkharitonov,@duong,@thienphuoc, @bingsoo, @asnagni, @paulocoutinhox, @DelinWorks

Significant changes relative to 2.5.0:

• Update android devenv to support android 16 by @halx99 in #2546
• Update Android Studio minimum required version to 2024.3.2
• Downgrade emsdk from 4.0.6 to 3.1.73 to ensure that the developer can debug axmol wasm apps properly on all platforms. If you use linux or macos, you can set and use without issue a higher emsdk version (4.0+) in your .axproj, for example emsdk=4.0.11.
  If you use windows you won’t be able to debug the app properly on higher versions than 3.1.73
