All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
- [GUI] Re-ordering repositories in the settings panel is more stable. (Postremus, #1431)
- [GUI] Fixed an unhandled exception that could occur when installing metapages via
Install -> From .ckan
. (Postremus, #1436) - [Core] Less likely to remove essential directories (such as
Ships/*
) if empty. (Postremus, #1405)

- [NetKAN]
netkan.exe
will now report its version and exit if run with the--version
switch. (pjf, #1415)
- [GUI] The CKAN client is less likely to believe that all mods are new when auto-updating metadata is enabled. (Postremus, #1369)
- [GUI] The latest CKAN-available version of a mod is always shown in the 'latest' column, even if that mod is not compatible with the installed KSP version. (Postremus, #1396)
- [GUI] Pressing a key with an empty modlist will no longer crash the client. (Postremus, #1329)

.ckan
files (such as exported modlists) is more likely to succeed even when dependencies are complex. (#1337, Postremus) - [Cmdline]
ckan.exe --verbose
andckan.exe --debug
now start the GUI with the appropriate logging mode. (#1403, Postremus) - [Updater] We'll no longer try to download a CKAN release that hasn't finished building its assets yet. (Postremus, #1397)
