COLRV1 Emoji glyphs support
Gameface now supports more kinds of emoji fonts.
Gameface can now load and display emoji from COLRV1 emoji fonts. This format allows the displaying of more complex emoji glyphs that utilize gradients, compositing, and blending.
For more details, see the documentation for the emojis support

GPU memory tracking changes
Changes to the GPUMemoryInfo structure
In this release, the cohtml::GPUMemoryInfo::TexturesInformation[renoir::domains::TextureType::TT_Count] field has been separated into two:
TextureInfo TexturesInformation[TT_Count]- holds the same information about the color textures as before, continuing to categorize them by domains. However,TextureInfo TexturesInformation[TT_DepthTexture]no longer accumulates any DS textures data.TextureResources DSTexturesInformation- holds information about all Depth-Stencil textures, without categorizing them by domains. All of them are considered as just Depth-Stencil textures which now have a shared usage.
All code related to the GPU memory stats will need to be adjusted to use the new representation of the GPUMemoryInfo structure in order to extract the correct DS textures GPU memory statistics. For more information check out the full GPU Memory Tracking documentation.
