  • NEW It's over 9000 ticks/s!!! uncapped tick speed and 1kT, 2kT and 4kT/s speeds

  • PERF Simulation evaluates MOS states only when the MOS gate is being "touched" by a state change. Gains vary depending on the scenarios; some tests showed 10% on a modest laptop, some other tests showed way more.

  • UX Current live ticks/s show when the extended live info option is on

  • UX Escape behavior locks inputs for the editor temporarily, allowing escaping/space/enter from perf report windows and a cleaner Pause Menu

  • FIX Crash to desktop tentative fix

  • FIX editor "frozen" soft lock tentative fix

  • FIX Rebindable Left Ctrl for upward build now working, Left Ctrl is not a reserved key anymore

  • SRV Leaderboard service (for upcoming gauntlet)

  • MI Managing runner thread cancelling itself without deadlock (for dev purpose really)

  • MI References assert that ticks are prerecorded scores. (verifying the simulation is consistent between releases)
