There are nightly releases now, will be a release with the latest commits per day.

Here is the official compatibility list:

Ymir Game Compatibility List

docs.google.com

Go play some games, more than the first level if you can, note all the bugs or quirks you find on games and the emulator itself, search the github issues and report them.
Also follow the instructions on the compatibility list and try to help filling it.

Ymir is in great state, in a really short time is reaching Duckstation's levels and will overtake Mednafen.

Some notes from the release:

This update, just like previous 0.1.x releases, brings a ton of compatibility fixes, more performance improvements, and a handful of new features to play with, including vertical display (TATE) mode, a basic notification/messages system, improved frame pacing stability in full screen mode, and emulation speed control. This is the biggest release yet, with over 80 changelog entries and the most bug fixes of every release so far.

Ymir now has an official compatibility list which still needs some love. Help fill it out by testing games and filling out reports in the Requests sheets. As of this writing, over 60% of reported titles are fully playable and another 20% at least goes in-game. Not bad for an emulator that's less than a year old! But this is only a small picture of the overall compatibility, as only 6% of the entire library has been tested so far.

The Princess Crown patch reached the 1.0 version and is 'complete', fully playable and in good state apparently.
But there's some development still ongoing to refine it further.

All good for the moment and let's hope that this Sega Saturn emulator continues in good steps throughout development.
