Major Update: 3.0.0

After a long development cycle, version 3.0.0 has been released!

This version does include many breaking changes, which may require your attention. These breaking changes are listed in the changelog.

When loading into 3.0.0 for the first time, you will be prompted to save a backup of your pre-3.0.0 savegame. Please keep this savegame in case you need to revert to the previous version. Under Properties -> Game Versions and Betas, there is a branch available to revert to a previous game version.

Also when loading in, a file APIBreakInfo-3.0.0.txt will be created on the home computer, which should assist in addressing any scripts which were impacted by an API break.

With that said, below is part of the changelog. The full changelog can be viewed ingame or at https://github.com/bitburner-official/bitburner-src/releases/tag/v3.0.0
