Version: 1.1.0
Date: 2026-10-26
  Features:
    - New item mode "Crafted upgrade": crafted from a stack inserter, a selector combinator and a processing
      unit; recycles back to them and accepts quality modules.
    - The anti-jam stack inserter is now the bulk inserter's default upgrade (upgrade planner with no rules),
      and downgrades to it. Can be turned off with a startup setting. Stack inserters still don't upgrade
      or downgrade.
    - Compatibility with the Long Stack Inserter mod: adds a long-handed anti-jam stack inserter as well.
    - Adds color settings for anti-jam stack inserters (default purple without the Long Stack Inserter
      mod, default black with both mods installed), long-handed stack inserter (default purple), and
      long-handed anti-jam stack inserter (default aqua).
    - "Yellow hand" settings: keep the stack inserter's yellow hand and only recolor the platform and
      arm, like in the Long Stack Inserter mod. On by default for every stack inserter when both mods
      are present; off (full recolor) otherwise.

Version: 1.0.0
Date: 2026-10-23
  Features:
    - Anti-jam stack inserter: a stack inserter that swings without waiting for a full hand.
    - Startup setting "Item mode":
      - Smart swapping (default): built from and mined to stack inserter items; place it with an upgrade
        planner, blueprint, ghost or pipette. Switching a save to it turns existing anti-jam stack inserter
        items back into stack inserters.
      - Distinct item: its own item with the stack inserter's recipe.
      - Distinct item with quick swap: plus quick conversion recipes between stack and anti-jam stack inserters.
