##### General Changes

- Added so you can lock an entire page using ctrl+L

- Instant Upgrade Tower was preferring healing over upgrading when it had the mana, now it should upgrade first, then use the remaining mana if it's not able to upgrade heal.

- Text indicator for when you press a keybind that changes a setting

- Added a configurable survival starting wave that persists. The default is 22, and if the player hasn't beaten that wave, it goes to the closest highest wave

##### Balance Changes

- Made Enrage Aura work on Real Time Strategist award again

##### Bug Fixes

- Fixed Manatee Event Attack Speed and animation

- Move Tower making towers fly should be removed now, height compensation was never used

- Additional fix for infinite stuck map selection

- Auras should now accurately not effect enemies with spawn-immunity

- Fixed Palantir Starting mana on Ruthless difficulty

For Etheria!
