What's New is an index, not a publisher: every entry below links to the vendor's own release notes, which are the authoritative source. Entries are labelled where they are hand-curated sample data, pre-releases, or drawn from a secondary source such as a developer blog.

Reuse: the summaries, labels and curation here are © What's New. Quote freely with attribution and a link back; wholesale republication of the corpus is not permitted — terms: https://whatsnew.fyi/terms. The vendors' own release notes remain their publishers'.

- Fixed Littoral Shipyard not having waves
- Fixed icons not generating properly in data patch content
- Added support for loading mod assets in map music rules

Note for Java mod authors: In order for the mod update system to work properly, make sure the version in the repository's mod.json actually matches the latest available released version of the mod. Use a separate development branch if necessary.

If you see a mod with a 'fake update' that doesn't actually apply after the button is pressed, this is the reason. Report this issue to the relevant mod developers if you see it.
