Any special options you have enabled in the File menu will need to be reselected after this update, due to a change in how these settings are stored internally. Also, a new previous_release branch has been added on steam. This will be one version behind the current live release. For instance, with this 2.5.1 release, the previous_release branch has version 2.5.0, but it will update to 2.5.1 when the next version is released. The previous_release branch or the existing development branch can be selected via Properties -> Betas -> Beta Participation. ### MAJOR ADDITIONS - Added a faction rumors system, to learn the requirements for joining factions ingame (@jjclark1982) ### API - (Bladeburner) Added ns.bladeburner.nextUpdate, which allows waiting for the next update of the bladeburner mechanic (@jjclark1982) - (Bladeburner) Added ns.bladeburner.getNextBlackOp, which provides name and rank info for the next Black Operation that can be completed (@myCatsName) - (Corporation) Added ns.corporation.nextUpdate, which allows waiting for the next update of the corporation mechanic (@jjclark1982) - (Corporation) Added a size property to the return value of getProduct (@Caldwell-74) - (Corporation) ns.corporation.getCorporation return value: 'state' property is deprecated.
