MAIN CHANGES
A seeminly small update but with a lot of far-reaching back-end changes, so fingers crossed that everything will work correctly. It has a couple of nice new social/competitive features, too: you can now see the top-10 list for every mission and an “All-time Best” button has been added to “Hall of Fame”. This list (like daily top-100 lists) isn’t real-time, but rather only gets updated each midnight GMT.
Bug/Idea medals will be awarded later in the day. 
Your medal cannot be awarded if your in-game callsign doesn’t match your forum name (send it to me in a private message).
COMPATIBILITY
You will lose:
- any in-mission progress
- all graphics options, which includes your window/borderless/fullscreen setting.
- if any options have been removed or added to a new version, then all menu options (not just graphics) will be lost.

BACKUPS
You are reminded that during Early Access you are responsible for backing up your own progress. Make a copy of everything under C:\ProgramData\InterAction studios\CIU (including all sub-folders). Never rename files or move them from one version folder to another. Simply make a copy and then later put it back exactly where you found it.
