Version: 0.4.11
Date: 2020-12-16
  Features:
    - Better support for multi-level and infinite technologies. If a technology has multiple levels or is infinite, you can now queue up individual levels as separate items in the queue.

    - Performance improvements
Version: 0.4.10
Date: 2020-12-14
  Features:
    - Added technology description to tooltip
    - Added button to clear the queue
  Changes:
    - Infinite technologies will now be removed from the queue once researched instead of staying as the current research until you removed it manually. It's currently not possible to queue up more than one level of an infinite research at a time. I'm working on making this possible but it's quite a big change to make to the code so it might take a while.
