Changelog

Version: 1.4.2
Date: 2026-05-26
  Changes:
    - Moved the first outer-board entry from Fulgora -> Viridion Slipstream to Fulgora -> Solara Slipstream so Solara is the first intended post-Fulgora interstellar stop.
    - Preserved the downstream slipstream backbone as Solara -> Myridian -> Viridion -> Pyraxis -> Terminus.
    - Added asteroid spawn definitions to IPO-authored slipstream and interstellar routes by cloning appropriate Space Age route profiles, so the routes are no longer empty transit lanes.
  Bugfixes:
    - Pruned stale Fulgora -> Viridion bypass routes so old saves cannot skip Solara after migration refresh.
Version: 1.4.1
Date: 2026-05-26
  Bugfixes:
    - Updated the Forgeworks Core dependency baseline to forgeworks-core >= 0.2.4.
    - Corrected Shattered Planet icon namespace handling so IPO references skewer_shattered_planet directly instead of the separate asset-pack namespace.
  Changes:
    - Polished Terminus/Shattered Planet lane cleanup so Shattered Planet Approach no longer overlaps Terminus Slipstream and duplicate dependency aliases stack into one visible endpoint.
    - Kept the 1.4.0 Campaign Board feature set unchanged.
    - Kept the accepted 1.2.0 public starmap frozen: no route rewrites, no hub movement, and no new route geometry.
Version: 1.4.0
Date: 2026-05-24
  Major Features:
    - Added the Interstellar Campaign Board as an in-game top-left mod GUI button.
    - The board summarizes chapter progress, current survey target, chapter science status, major worlds, and Terminus Endgame Bridge status.
  Changes:
    - Kept the accepted 1.2.0 public starmap frozen: no route rewrites, no hub movement, and no new route geometry.
    - Updated release notes, portal text, README, roadmap, and support docs around the Campaign Board milestone.
  Bugfixes:
    - Added a safe 1.4.0 migration refresh and stale campaign-board GUI cleanup.
Version: 1.3.0
Date: 2026-05-24
  Major Features:
    - Added the Terminus Endgame Bridge as the first public 1.3.x progression feature.
    - The bridge sits after Survey: Terminus Deep Space and acts as a readable final gate for omega, Nexus, singularity, transceiver, wormhole, stargate, void, and other finale-style technologies when those technologies are present.
  Changes:
    - Kept the accepted 1.2.0 public starmap frozen: no trunk rewrite, no hub relocation, and no route redesign.
    - Preserved chapter-aware science compression and Terminus science-card cleanup.
    - Cleaned the shipped changelog to the actual public Mod Portal release entries only: 1.3.0, 1.2.0, 1.1.2, 1.1.1, 1.1.0, 0.47.1, 0.47.0, and 0.46.7.
  Bugfixes:
    - Added a safe 1.3.0 migration refresh for technologies, recipes, and technology effects.
Version: 1.2.0
Date: 2026-05-24
  Major Features:
    - Released the Science Compression Polish line for the authored multi-system campaign spine.
    - Added chapter-aware compression for large late-research science-pack walls into IPO system science packs.
    - Locked the accepted smooth starmap baseline: Lignumis -> Nauvis -> Fulgora -> Viridion Slipstream, with Solara, Myridian, Pyraxis, and Terminus arranged as readable authored chapter systems.
  Changes:
    - Removed Calidus Slip Stream from the public route contract.
    - Kept Cerys as Fulgora -> Cerys only.
    - Kept Aquilo inside the Myridian route chain.
    - Kept Planet Crucible behind the Foliax -> Crucible Orbit/Approach -> Planet Crucible gate.
    - Cleaned the Solara local route chain and Myridian detour so the public starmap reads as smooth, non-overlapping lanes.
Version: 1.1.2
Date: 2026-05-19
  Changes:
    - Continued the Razi-style hard-sync rewrite work before the 1.2.0 release candidate line.
    - Kept the five chapter systems, survey technologies, chapter science packs, and supported planet roster on the same canonical progression surface.
    - Prepared the package for the later starmap readability and science-compression polishing work.
Version: 1.1.1
Date: 2026-05-19
  Bugfixes:
    - Maintenance release for the 1.1.x hard-sync rewrite line.
    - Refreshed technology, recipe, and starmap effects for safer upgrades from the 1.1.0 baseline.
  Changes:
    - Kept the canonical chapter systems, survey technologies, and chapter science packs aligned with the public supported-pack surface.
Version: 1.1.0
Date: 2026-05-19
  Major Features:
    - Released the Razi-style hard-sync rewrite foundation for IPO progression.
    - Consolidated authored chapter systems, survey technologies, chapter science packs, and route ownership into a canonical progression layer.
  Changes:
    - Reframed Solara, Myridian, Viridion, Pyraxis, and Terminus as the public five-chapter campaign spine.
    - Prepared the mod for the later 1.2.0 starmap readability and science-compression polish release.
Version: 0.47.1
Date: 2026-04-29
  Changes:
    - Added Muluna bootstrap compatibility and early recovery-path guidance so Muluna reads as an expeditionary bootstrap stop rather than a blind one-way landing.
    - Kept the curated hard-dependency planet pack and authored five-chapter starmap framework.
    - Preserved the 0.47.0 starmap readability pass and public supported-pack framing.
Version: 0.47.0
Date: 2026-04-29
  Major Features:
    - Released the starmap readability pass for the public rewrite line.
  Changes:
    - Kept the curated dependency baseline from the 0.46.x release branch.
    - Preserved the authored five-chapter system layout and cleaned Pyraxis lane.
    - Added cleaner Myridian and Terminus world spreads and reduced slipstream label pressure around busy chapter entrances.
Version: 0.46.7
Date: 2026-04-22
  Changes:
    - Final cleanup build on top of the authored-system rewrite line.
    - Removed stale Hyarion references from the shipped Pyraxis lane.
    - Aligned public package text with the actual supported dependency set.
    - Kept the Razi-inspired chapter-system layout, chapter science packs, final starmap polish, and refreshed public release thumbnail.
