MAIN CHANGES
A maintenance release with lots of bug fixes and improvements related mainly to the new Android version. Speaking of which, you can find the Android version here: 📱 Android (experimental preview) . Carefully read through the notes, because it’s still experimental.
Note that due to the addition of new options, all your saved menu Options have been reset.
Bug/Idea medals will be awarded later in the day. Note that your medal cannot be awarded if your in-game callsign doesn’t match your forum name (put it in your forum profile where it says “name” so I can find it).
