changedThe Laser Weapons research entry has been updated so the displayed damage multiplier is now 120% rather than 135%, which accurately reflects the pre-upgrade damage values of Laser weapons. The research text has also been updated to better hint at the possibility of future upgrades.
removedMods now no longer have a "maximum version", as this was causing a lot of false confusion about mods being out of date. Generally speaking our "major version" patches should not break mods - so a mod made in V7 should work in all versions of post-release V7. The game now only generates a warning if we move onto the next major version (e.g. V8).
fixedFixed a bug preventing users uploading mods to Steam Workshop via the game.
fixedFixed a rare crash that could occur if two squadrons simultaneously intercepted the same UFO and then one successfully shot it down.
fixedFixed a rare crash that could occur when moving items in the Armory.
