Version: 0.0.34
Date: 2020-09-09
  Features:
    - Secret feature: re-introduce access to factorio apis under "_api" global in env.
      Unlike with combinator input/output values, it's easy to break the game through this by mistake,
      so I'd suggest never using it, unless you absolutely know what you are doing.

Version: 0.0.31
Date: 2020-09-08
  Bugfixes:
    - Fix GUI width/height constants not taking display_scale into account.

Version: 0.0.30
Date: 2020-09-07

    - Add small item icons to an input/output signals list.
    - Highlight code error line on save and after code runs, if gui for it is opened.
    - Enable gvv mod support (used to debug other mods), only if it's installed and enabled.

  Bugfixes:
    - Fix showing signal values in GUI that are <0, oops.

Version: 0.0.23
Date: 2020-09-06
  Features:
    - Right-click on "open environment" button will clear the env, mentioned in button tooltip.

  Changes:
    - Hide internals of red/green input tables in vars window, there's other display for them anyway.

  Bugfixes:
    - Fix broken locale string and a tooltip for environment display window.
    - Fix Ctrl-F (env window) hotkey not working without main GUI open.

Version: 0.0.19
Date: 2020-09-06
  Features:
    - Add toggle-able and auto-updating combinator environment display window (Ctrl-F).
    - Secret feature: expose factorio LuaRemote interface as game.remote.
      This is to allow people to use "signalstrings" or such helper mods from code.
      Using any other mod interfaces can break the game, as they're only intended for mods devs!

  Changes:
    - Only 20 preset buttons instead of 21, as more won't fit on that button-line.
    - "Close UIs" hotkey now closes all windows created by this mod, not just the main one.

    - Make help window scrollable if necessary and set UI limits from player screen height.

Version: 0.0.17
Date: 2020-09-05
  Bugfixes:
    - Chain-fix for a bad fix in 0.0.14 for crash bug added in 0.0.12 - nice.

    - New mod thumbnail, with a new combinator sprite on it.

  Changes:
    - Use tick (arachnid) instead of a bug on the "moon logic error" signal, to match the name.

Date: 2020-09-05
  Features:
    - Convert boolean values to 1/0 for an easy on/off signals.

Date: 2020-09-04

  Changes:
    - Bugs on the combinator will now set output error signal on it.
    - 6KW energy usage (regular combinators = 1KW, lamp = 5KW).

    - Fix undo/redo hotkeys.
    - Fix clearing output table via "out = {}" and when using "clear" UI button.
    - Fix running serpent.block/line on overloaded input ro-tables.
    - Logging via game.log doesn't print whole function code anymore.

Version: 0.0.12
Date: 2020-09-04
  Changes:
    - Replace combinator type/looks from 1x1 to 2x1 one, with separate inputs and outputs.
      All existing old combinators from saved games will be removed on migration,
      but their non-duplicate/empty code is stored on spare preset buttons, with notification about it.
    - Currently combinator looks exactly like arithmetic one, need to update sprites/icons/thumbnails.
    - Improve help text for various unclear things that were reported.
    - Display output signals in the GUI, but separately from inputs.
    - Pressing Esc (or default "close guis") key now unfocuses code textbox first, closes on second press.

  Bugfixes:
    - Fix wrong line being highlighted for lua errors with leading empty lines.

Version: 0.0.11
Date: 2020-09-04

  Bugfixes:
    - Fix debug=true log not mentioning all keys if pairs() was run on inputs.

Version: 0.0.9

Date: 2020-09-02
  Features:
    - Add startup mod options to change red/green lua env vars and gui labels.
      Useful with other mods that change colors.

Version: 0.0.3
Date: 2020-09-02
  Bugfixes:
    - Fix on_pre_player_mined_item error when removing combinator.
    - Fix error line highlight in code on opening combinators.
    - Help text window fixes.

Version: 0.0.2
Date: 2020-09-02
  Features:
    - Remove separate input/output things and 2x1 combinator variant,
      not sure what's a good use-case for these.
    - Add "debug" flag to dump combinator code inputs/outputs to factorio log.
    - Misfeature: multiplayer is probably broken, not sure if worked before,
      with a bunch of local state assigned on ticks.

  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed closing GUI on Esc key.

  Changes:
    - Major control code rewrite, ~600 less lines of stuff, but likely with a lot of new bugs, unfortunately.
    - Code environment changes - rednet -> red, geennet -> green, output -> out, all return 0 for missing keys, etc.

Version: 0.0.1
Date: 2020-08-31
  Features:
    - Initial release, based on IWTDU's Sandboxed LuaCombinator mod code
      (which in turn is based on OwnlyMe's LuaCombinator2), but with less features.

  Changes:
    - Remove all auto-indentation and syntax highlighting -
      it's not a substitute for vim/emacs, just paste/tweak code there.
    - Remove all blueprint serialization code - one of these can easily control everything in the game,
      use simplier combinators for basic arithmetic.
    - GUIs have fixed position, not bouncing somewhere around screen center, and are generally fixed-up a bit.
