Version History

NOTE: This page is being split into a number of pages, one for each revision.

This page contains patch notes from all patches that were open to public in some way, in chronological order from 7/23/2014 (27C). They are direct transcripts from the official notes, and do sometimes contain weird formating or unclear formulations on behalf of the developers. They can also be found on the official forums.

There will be significant overlap between a major update and the previous experimental builds, as they are testing ground for fixes or features going into the next non-experimental build.

The letters behind revision numbers indicate experimental builds that the players can opt into trying, via Steam. Newest build on Steam: v35 (Experimental: 35A).
