    • Definition flattening also checks for entities that do not exist.
    • Needs flattenDefintions to be true in the configuration.

    • Can now accept objects with values in them.

    • This specifically means that Entity.ondead is removed and instead fires an event for it.

    • If only one definition reference is inside PARENT, it is no longer required for it to be an array.
    • Example: PARENT: "genericTank".

    • Spawns friendly bosses.
    • Makes Healer branch accessible.

  • Changelogs are now a HTML file instead of a MD file.

Removed

  • 3rd party packages.

    • All NPM packages besides ws have been optimised away.

  • Food evolution.

    • It brings no real benefits outside of encouraging people to be selfish.
    • It brings 2 real downsides of screwing up Underseer-branch and making the code terrible to read.
