Date: 30. 6. 2016

    - Further performance optimizations.

Version: 1.0.5
Date: 6. 5. 2016
  Changes:
    - Optimize mod performance by caching calls to game.tick.
    - Slightly reduce how often sounds are emitted by entities when they are disabled by EMP.
Version: 1.0.4
Date: 4. 5. 2016

    - Added support for Bob's Enemies 0.12.7.
Version: 1.0.3
Date: 31. 3. 2016
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed a crash that could happen when a radar-type entity was disabled by EMP.
Version: 1.0.2
Date: 28. 3. 2016
  Minor Features:
    - Added support for the 5dim Battlefield mod and its new enemies.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed a crash that could happen when picking up a structure that was disabled by EMP.
    - Fixed Big Worms' chance to cause an EMP being lower than intended; their chance now increases from 0% at 0% evolution and reaches 100% by 50% evolution -- previously they would not reach 100% chance until 100% evo.
Version: 1.0.1
Date: 27. 3. 2016
  Changes:
    - Increased default difficulty settings: all EMP attacks have increased disable duration.
    - To compensate, gun turrets are now disabled by EMP for only half as long as other entities. This should encourage using mixed defenses.
Version: 1.0.0 - First public release
Date: 26. 3. 2016
  Major Features:
    - Now, large biters have a chance to give off an EMP blast when they die, temporarily disabling nearby turrets, radars, and logistic & construction robots. Large spitters also have a chance to EMP with their spit.
      The larger the enemy and the higher the evolution factor, the bigger the chance of EMP is.
