Version: 1.1.0
Date: 10.7.2023
  Compatibility:
    - Detects when running with other skin selector mods; gives them our skins & disables our skin swapping functionality.
    - In compatibility mode, displays a message in the GUI with information about registered skins & which mod is causing compatibility mode.
    - Currently works with miniMAXIme and RitnCharacters (though the latter is inherently buggy and not recommended).
    - miniMAXIme + !skins + Jetpack will cause a crash upon toggling the jetpack; this is waiting for a fix from minime.

Version: 1.0.1
Date: 9.7.2023
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed filename capitalization error when requiring "common.lua"

Version: 1.0.0
Date: 30.6.2023
  Features:
    - New API! Uses a function instead of setting table values.
    - Incremented the schema_version (now 2) to account for the above change.
    - Better error protection and messages when invalid data is passed to the library.
    - Added a warning when loading a save with a missing skin in use (player's inventory is unavoidably deleted).
  Bugfixes:
    - Reset the all-skins smuggle setting on every game load, now the mod will recognize skins that are added later in the game.
    - Fixed the GUI buttons not changing when skins are added/removed.
    - Moved some internal stuff to common.lua, and cleaned up some code.

Version: 0.2.0
Date: 2.8.2022

    - Added skin selector GUI, with live previews of all available skins and the player's current character.

    - Added better instructions to both menus.
    - Added mod-gui button, keybind, & quickbar shortcut to open the GUI.
    - Added an option to disable the GUI's camera view of the current character (useful in multiplayer because of latency).
    - Improved initalization and cleanup of player data (active skin, etc.). This prevents potential crashes or desyncs in multiplayer.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed the /character command help not displaying.
    - Fixed an issue with trying to swap characters during the intro cutscene (it shouldn't be possible, but was in specific situations).

Date: 19.3.2022
  Features:
    - Swapping characters while in a vehicle (driver or passenger) keeps you in the vehicle.
