    - Keep the Space Age artwork as a fallback.
Version: 0.7.3
Date: 2026-08-24
  Bugfixes:
    - Fix the bundled demo metadata so Factorio can open the New Game screen.
Version: 0.7.2
Date: 2026-08-22
  Features:
    - Add optional English InformaTron pages for launch procedures, mission profiles, route milestones, telemetry and the Nauvis Archive.
Version: 0.7.1
Date: 2026-08-22
  Fixes:
    - Mark probes beyond the known system edge as being in interstellar space on the route display.
Version: 0.7.0
Date: 2026-08-22
  Features:
    - Organise telemetry into distinct mission, onboard systems, configuration, mission log, route and ranking sections.
    - Highlight deep-space events and milestones in chat with a Project Voyager prefix and severity colours.
    - Expose mission history in a clearer scrollable telemetry window.
Version: 0.6.2
Date: 2026-08-22
  Changes:
    - Export reached milestones and recent event history for dashboard integrations and automated validation.
  Tests:
    - Add an accelerated 1,600-hour mission test covering system exit, permanent camera shutdown and the one-light-day milestone.
Version: 0.6.1
Date: 2026-08-22
  Changes:
    - Reduce the Voyager monitor to the same single-line height as the DEFCON control while retaining animation, distance and ETA.
Version: 0.6.0
Date: 2026-08-22
  Features:
    - Add narrative flyby reports for Vulcanus, Fulgora, Gleba and Aquilo.
    - Add the final 40.5 AU image of Nauvis and permanently power down the imaging system afterwards.
    - Add Shattered Frontier, distance-record, known-system-edge and one-light-day milestones.
    - Add the persistent Nauvis Archive inspired by the historical Golden Record.
    - Expand deterministic events with memory repair, plasma waves, extrasystemic dust and navigation correction.
  Fixes:
    - Correct one-way radio delay telemetry to report minutes rather than hours labelled as minutes.
Version: 0.5.2
Date: 2026-08-22
  Fixes:
    - Prevent late Personal Nauvis onboarding choices from moving the demo player away from the prepared Nauvis test site.
    - Keep the demo silo at 100 rocket parts and allow its local-only launch helper to restore readiness immediately before launch.
    - Close Personal Nauvis onboarding windows inside the dedicated Voyager scenario.
Version: 0.5.1
Date: 2026-08-22
  Fixes:
    - Keep the Voyager demo on standard Nauvis when Personal Nauvis is enabled.
    - Rebuild the ready launch area and provision the probe when opening an existing demo save.
    - Open the prepared probe silo automatically so the test controls are immediately visible.
Version: 0.5.0
Date: 2026-08-22
  Features:
    - Replace the plain HUD button with an animated mission monitor showing distance and estimated system-exit time.
    - Show estimated remaining and total travel time in telemetry.
    - Preserve and display the eight most recent deterministic mission signals.
    - Export estimated interstellar arrival times to public dashboard integrations.
  Fixes:
    - Make slower mission profiles reach interstellar space according to distance instead of sharing the balanced profile's fixed clock.
Version: 0.4.0
Date: 2026-08-22
  Features:
    - Show the exact permanent bonuses and penalties of every mission profile before launch and in telemetry.
  Changes:
    - Explicitly state that each force receives one Voyager probe and cannot change its profile after launch.
Version: 0.3.1
Date: 2026-08-22
  Changes:
    - Replace real Solar System names with Factorio destinations and original deep-space regions.
Version: 0.3.0
Date: 2026-08-22
  Features:
    - Add an in-game graphical route through the outer planets, Kuiper Belt, heliopause and interstellar space.
    - Add deterministic three-dimensional virtual probe coordinates to telemetry and the public dashboard schema.
Version: 0.2.2
Date: 2026-08-22
  Changes:
    - Keep launch control focused by removing the unnecessary email notice.
Version: 0.2.1
Date: 2026-08-22
  Features:
    - Add an optional 280-character mission message and clarify that email notifications require the future web service.
