Highlights for `raylib 5.5`:
- **`NEW` raylib pre-configured Windows package**: The new raylib **postable and self-contained Windows package** for `raylib 5.5`, intended for nobel devs that start in programming world, comes with one big addition: support for **C code building for Web platform with one-single-mouse-click!** For the last 10 years, the pre-configured raylib Windows package allowed to edit simple C projects on Notepad++ and easely compile Windows executables with an automatic script; this new release adds the possibility to compile the same C projects for Web platform with a simple mouse click. This new addition **greatly simplifies C to WebAssembly project building for new users**. The `raylib Windows Installer` package can be downloaded for free from [raylib on itch.io](https://raysan5.itch.io/raylib).
- **`NEW` raylib project creator tool**: A brand new tool developed to help raylib users to **setup new projects in a professional way**. `raylib project creator` generates a complete project structure with **multiple build systems ready-to-use** and **GitHub CI/CD actions pre-configured**. It only requires providing some C files and basic project parameters! The tools is [free and open-source](https://raysan5.itch.io/raylib-project-creator), and [it can be used online](https://raysan5.itch.io/raylib-project-creator)!.
- **`NEW` Platform backend supported: RGFW**: Thanks to the `rcore` platform-split implemented in `raylib 5.0`, **adding new platforms backends has been greatly simplified**, new backends can be added using provided template, self-contained in a single C module, completely portable. A new platform backend has been added: [`RGFW`](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/master/src/platforms/rcore_desktop_rgfw.c). `RGFW` is a **new single-file header-only portable library** ([`RGFW.h`](https://github.com/ColleagueRiley/RGFW)) intended for platform-functionality management (windowing and inputs); in this case for **desktop platforms** (Windows, Linux, macOS) but also for **Web platform**. It adds a new alternative to the already existing `GLFW` and `SDL` platform backends.
