This is an automated build of the latest source. It may be unstable or even crash, corrupt your save or eat your kitten. Use with caution!

https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky/actions/runs/22794585878

This is an unstable release, containing big changes that may introduce new bugs. Major new changes include the following:

Breaking changes:

• The Hai Reveal storyline has been removed from the game. Only about a dozen missions were ever available, they conflict with the plot of other storylines, and no progress has been made on the storyline in several years, so we've opted to remove it for now.

Content and features:

• There are now three more starting scenarios, allowing you to start in the Deep, Paradise Worlds, or Syndicate space. These starting scenarios are available immediately and do not need to be unlocked.
• Added various difficult to locate culture conversations around the galaxy that give you insight into various alien races and historical events within the galaxy.
• The Graveyard has a new short standalone string of missions around investigating Ka'het and their behaviors.
• Human space now has "message buoys" that emit a hail message upon entering certain systems or traveling between regions.
• Heavily reworked bounty jobs. Changes include removing the previous aspect of bounty jobs where you had to locate the bounty, rebalancing the difficulty of the jobs and how often you unlock new ones, and more.
• Various QoL improvements to the UI, including updates to the outfitter and shipyard to have on-screen buttons for all possible actions, adding a "Player Info" button to the planet panel, replacing the "New Pilot" button with a "Reload Pilot" button on the main menu after you die, and more.
• Various performance improvements around pathfinding, VRAM usage, NPC AI movement calculations, and more.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed conditions in the Patir storyline not being set properly by events.
• The Carriers in "FW Pug 4: Escorts" now have enough fighters to fill their bays.
• Changing the main zoom factor no longer breaks the display of planet descriptions.
• Fixed a rare memory leak and a few rare crashes.
• If the "disabled fighters avoid projectiles" gamerule is active, projectiles with a trigger radius will no longer be set off by disabled fighters.

If you are using the high-dpi plugin, you should download and install the updated version that goes with this release.

This is a stable release, focused on fixing bugs and making some other small improvements.

• The biggest change this release is the removal of the "hold fire" command, added in 0.10.9, because of bugs associated with it that could not be adequately resolved prior to this release.
• We hope to have addressed those issues for the next release in a few months.

This release brings one new feature:

• The addition of the "silent jumps" and "silent scans" attributes, which allow ships to jump and scan without playing any sounds, not even the default ones.

Some other changes are:

• Particularly large capture defense values on some outfits were reduced, to work better with changes to capturing mechanics in 0.10.9.
• Fixes and improvements to various Incipias, Remnant, and Successor missions.
• Updated landing messages for some star sprites to improve accuracy.
