RELEASE NOTES - v0.2023.001

• A new map for Final Stand mode: Research Facility.

Mode changes Survival mode (previously Doomed mode, which has the large 8-zone map called Edge of Doom) has now been reworked to fall under Final Stand mode.

This means that Final Stand now includes 2 single-zone maps, as well as the 8-zone map from before.

Nothing has really changed in terms of the underlying modes and their rules, it is just how it is presented in the UI now, all under the banner of Final Stand.
