Bug Fixes: * Fixed the weird 'glass-like' artifacts in game during launch * Fixed the parts not receiving mouse events on the VAB. This also affected coll ision detection on the VAB. * Fixed the in-flight settings screen being drawn under the main UI. * Tweaked the fuel tank surface attachment point. It was a little too close to t he collider, and sometimes caused false collisions. * Fixed a bug with the parts code that allowed them to bypass receiving gravity and drag forces if it's hierarchy root was destroyed. * Fixed the map camera code so that it will remember where it was if you re-open it. (this tweak was left out of the X1 build apparently) * Fixed the part icon numbers (when multiple icons are grouped) not being positi oned correctly on a few resolutions.

==================================== v0.13.0x1 ================================= =================== Optimizations: * Removed a lot of needless halts on the part processing routine during loading. * Restructured the sound loading system so the main loading thread doesn't wait for it to finish before moving on. * Deferred adding of several part components so they're only added when they're needed. * Mesh tangents can now be loaded from file, instead of being recalculated every time. * The mesh loader now ignores materials from file, because they were going to be replaced anyway later. * Meshes are now saved to binary files (serialized) when loaded for the first ti me, and loaded from those files when they're available. * Changed the rendering method for the part icons on the staging sequence. This can prevent thousands of objects from being created when flying large ships. * Ship parts now have adjustable levels of physics, so small parts are not as de eply simulated as large ones. This reduces the amount of physics objects and joi nts to simulate. * Reduced the amount of code components attached to each part, making for less c alls on each frame. New: * The part loader will check if the saved optimized meshes are out-of-date, and update them when necessary. * A new Fuel Line part, that allows fuel to be drained off external (side-mounte d) tanks. * It is now possible to warp time freely when the ship is landed. * Added a progress bar for the loading screen. Bug Fixes: * Fixed the mission timer not getting started if the first stage was moved befor e launching. * Liquid Fuel now flows from the "top" attachment node, instead of from the pare nt part (unless there is no top node, in which case it flows from the parent par t). * Parts now keep the references to the part attached in each attachment node. (m akes top-node based fuel flow possible) * Fixed a bug which prevented the ship selection dialogs from receiving double-c lick events. Now it is possible to select a ship file by double clicking on it. * Improved rendering of hyperbolic (escape) orbits in the map view. The trajecto ry is now a constant size regardless of eccentricity, and isn't warped by the sp lines. * The Map camera will now remember it's last position, and return to it when the map is reopened. NOTES: * The new part loading system will generate optimized meshes for all parts whene ver it finds new part models. This means the first time you run the game, it mig ht take longer for loading to complete. * This update introduces some new features that make ships built on previous ver sions incompatible. If a ship fails to load, it's because it isn't compatible wi th this version. We apologize for the inconvenience. ==================================== v0.12.0 =================================== ===================

Now it will only log sustain ed G forces. * Fixed the Surface/Orbital Speed reading getting messed up when restarting a fl ight. * Fixed a problem with the Time Warp code, that would sometimes force the time r ate to 2x, but not unpack the ship. It would also cause G forces and other value s to be incorrectly calculated. * Fixed a problem with unpacking the ship for physics that could cause centers o f mass to be offset, leading to uncontrollable tumbling. * Fixed a problem that could cause orbits to become reversed when entering/leavi ng another planet's sphere of influence. * Changed the Time Warp altitude restrictions to be proportional to the current planet or moon's radius.

==================================== v0.12.0x1 ================================= =================== New: * A Moon * New Orbital Camera Mode. Like Free Mode, but aligned to the solar system plane , like the Map View Camera is. * New Auto Camera Mode. Chooses between the other modes based on the state of th e flight. * Liquid Engines now support thrust vectoring (gimballing). * New LV-T45 Vectoring-Enabled Liquid Engine. * The VAB will now allow you to select a Command Module before starting a new sh ip. * Planets and Moons now rotate. * It is now possible to orbit the Sun. Bug Fixes: * Improved the way velocities are applied when resuming physics. * Fixed the Advanced SAS icon showing as a question mark on the VAB. * Fixed a bug where cloning parts by removing and undoing would cause them to re ceive duplicate IDs (and crash the game when loading the ship again). * Tidied up the flight statistics numbers formatting a bit, so they're easier to make sense of. * Time Warp will now smoothly increase/decrease towards the set time rate, for a much more fluid transition. * Made several improvements to the Map View orbit rendering. * Fixed the rails->physics transition, so that there is no significant change an ymore in orbital parameters when going out of warp. * Made some significant improvements to the physical joints that hold the ship t ogether. Ships will not wobble anymore when going back into 1x time after warpin g, and the joints themselves are more stable overall. * Made a small tweak to the part tooltips on the VAB, to prevent them from going off-screen on small resolutions. (was noticeable with the new command pod selec tion dialog) ==================================== v0.11.1 =================================== ================= * Hotfix Update Bug Fixes: * Fixed a small but very annoying bug where unpausing the game would not set tim e running again. ==================================== v0.11.0 =================================== ================= * Official Release Bug Fixes: * Solved a few more bugs with the time warp system. * Improved the Advanced SAS module to respond based on the size of the spacecraf t. * Fixed the extreme performance loss when using warp with large ships.

It was overfl owing on really large numbers. ==================================== v0.11.0x4 ================================= ================= New: * Changed most flight calculations to use double-precision Bug Fixes: * Found and fixed the most likely cause of ship destruction when exiting time wa rp. * Fixed the insane G forces when transitioning into or out of high warp. ==================================== v0.11.0x3 ================================= ================= New: * * a * * d Added a proper liftoff/touchdown/splashdown detection system. After the pod makes a safe splashdown/landing, the mission will be considered success. Changed the Flight Tutorial to include the new features added on this update. Map Icons now properly organize their popup texts if multiple icons are hovere at the same time.

Bug Fixes: * RCS no longer stops working if a single fuel tank runs dry (and now it drains from lower-stage tanks first). * Deorbited/Landed parts no longer stay or go into propagated orbits. * The Advanced SAS module will now use all control parts on the ship. * Strut Connectors will no longer try to reattach themselves to disconnected par ts when physics are resumed. ==================================== v0.11.0x2 ================================= ================= New: * New Space Skybox and improved day/night/space transition * Improved Kerbin surface texture maps * RCS (Reaction Control System) Module Part. * Added an 'RCS Toggle' key (Default 'R'), to toggle the RCS on and off.

Now it's applied just before loading starts. * Fixed a bug with the solid boosters, where they would become heavier instead o f lighter as their fuel was spent. ==================================== v0.10.0x2 ================================= =============== New: * Added a Throttle (Incremental) binding to the input config. This allows mappin g an axis to control the throttle, much like the W/S keys do. * Added sensitivity and deadzone options to each axis mapping * Changed the Invert axis method to a more conventional checkbox * Added a button to completely clear a control assignment. Bug Fixes: * Fixed a bug with precision mode controls, where they would not increment past about 10% * Returned the launchpad colliders to how they were before * Fixed the altimeter registering 60m at sea level. ==================================== v0.10.0x1 ================================= =============== New: * Completely overhauled procedural terrain system. Much more reliable and stable . * The whole planet can now detect collisions, so ejected parts can now land safe ly. * The terrain mesh is far more stable, shorelines and mountains no longer wobble . * The new terrain system is completely translation and rotation-safe. It can be moved dynamically without breaking visually. * An Orbital analysis and propagation system, allowing for a complete planetary simulation, among many other possibilities, is ready for implementation. * Terrain quads are now queded for subdivision, to improve performance * The terrain system now allows for a secondary target object, so both the ship and the camera can subdivide the terrain.

* Mini settings screen for in-game tweaks. * New (much better) shader for water. * The R8 Winglet now responds to input, and can be used as an elevator, canard, aileron, rudder, or any combination. * It is now possible to crank anti-aliasing up to 8x. * Joystick Support. * A working Mac OSX version!
