Endless Sky Versions Save

This is a stable release, focusing on bug fixes and polishing the recent v0.9.13 release. New changes include the following

• Numerous typo fixes
• Fixes to how several missions are offered to the player
• Better suggestions of possibly incomplete conditions in some missions' "visit" dialogues
• Differentiation between two Remnant engines' reversing capabilities
• Certain Navy shipyards now stock the Dropship
• Ships that have no specified "drag" attribute default to 100, rather than causing crashes
• Weaponry that alters the ship's status conditions (e.g. ionization) now respects the required minimum value of 0
• The "interrupt fast-forward" preference defaults to off

Some minor improvements were added to help support plugin authors and content creators:

• Quarg planets now have regional attributes to enable better targeting via missions
• Missions that fail to be instantiated print more informative messages in the error file
• Large numbers of missing image frames no longer pollute the error file

Specifics of the changes, in addition to descriptions of those not summarized here, can be found in the changelog. Special thanks to those who contributed changes to this release: @10010101001, @alextd, @Amazinite, @Anarchist2, @AraCaputDraco, @Arachi-Lover, @ashdnazg, @Corraban2, @dazuma, @DeBlister, @EjoThims, @Ferociousfeind, @Floppa-Priest, @InfiniteDonuts, @infinitewarp, @jarekchr, @jerith, @jostephd, @Jugosloven1612, @McloughlinGuy, @MCOfficer, @Ornok, @petervdmeer, @ravenshining, @tehhowch, @Terin, and @Zitchas.

If you are using the high-dpi plugin, you should download and install the updated version that goes with this release.

AppImage, x86 macOS, and Windows packages can be downloaded here directly. (For Windows, please choose 32 or 64 bit.) The "macOS_10.15-v0.9.14.dmg" build was contributed by @EricFromCanada and will work for Catalina and later. Its original release page is here, based on this commit. The "macos-v0.9.14.dmg" build is a recent rerelease that includes more of @EricFromCanada 's work, to fix #6520, and is sourced from this commit. It is available for macOS versions as early as 10.9 (OS X Mavericks).

This is an unstable release, containing big changes that may introduce new bugs.

Breaking changes:

• Starting conditions no longer automatically override the game's default start. Plugins that use a "start" node will need to make changes to restore the previous behavior.

Major new changes include the following:

• 70+ new missions in human and alien space
• Outfits can now be stored on planets, without needing to install them on a parked ship
• An overhaul of almost all human outfit images
• Players can now choose their starting scenario
• Spaceport news messages no longer include portraits by default
• Better handling for missing content definitions (e.g. from plugin removal)

Several features have been added to the game engine, for use by plugins and other content creators. These include:

• Dynamic stopover selection will consider planets without spaceports
• A number of new outfit and weapon attributes, offering shield/hull multipliers, weapon aiming & firing overrides, percentage-based damage, and additional damage mitigation
• Arbitrary angles for hardpoints, engine flares, and fighter bays
• NPCs' objectives can now include provocation or capture
• Mission NPCs can be conditionally spawned or removed without needing to change the player's active missions
• Missions can react differently when the player aborts a mission, and when the player fails a mission
• Missions can give ships to the player
• Systems may generate environmental hazards, control the range at which ships enter, and be hidden on the map

In addition to the major changes above, there are lots of smaller changes, content additions, and (of course) countless bug and typo fixes. A complete list of changes can be found in the GitHub changelog. Thanks to all of our contributors for their time and effort in making Endless Sky a community-driven project!
