Patch Notes - Demo Update v2.2.0

An update focused on long-overdue technical features/improvements... In addition to the following list of changes, I've also done a lot of background refactoring in preparation for future features.

Settings There is a brand new "VIDEO" settings tab, which includes:

• Fullscreen toggle

• Resolution options

• Vsync toggle

• Shadow quality

Graphical Improvements

• Improved shadow quality and performance.

• Optimised models and added LODs to:

• Observatory

• Electrical Debris (Copper)

• Solar Debris (Silicon)

• HUD rendering structure overhaul to support for 4K and UltraWide monitors (and the ability to change FOV in the near future).

• Main menu also updated to support UltraWide monitors.

Other Improvements

• Changed "FULL" and "CHARGING" annunciators on batteries and the master electrical panel to be green (as requested).

• Hiding the HUD is now done with CTRL + F1 rather than F1 (to prevent people from accidentally clicking it).

• Support for alternative keyboard layouts.

• Moved where the Endeavour Comms wreckage spawns so that it doesn't cast a shadow on your beautiful creations.

Bug Fixes

• After nearly a month of fighting, I have FINALLY defeated bug #1: the invisible Linux cursor!

• Fixed some ugly lighting effects that occur on the planet's surface during sunset/sunrise.

• Fixed the lack of thruster sound when using the match velocity function.

Also some backend improvements, including:

• Reduced unnecessary logs and fixed some warnings.

• Added build pipeline feature allowing to generate developmental builds just for Windows.

• A lot of refactoring and codebase tidy-up.
