When I decided to release v8 as a beta version first, I wasn't entirely sure if that was the right call. Subsequent events showed that it was the right decision.

• Beta 1: Crashed on launch
• Beta 2: Crashed when opening the ships list
• Beta 3: Crashed when using multiple mods in combat
• Beta 4: Crashed when viewing a ship using multiple mods

• Combat now waits until the victory/defeat situation has stabilized before announcing a result.
• Modules are now displayed alphabetically in the editor again.
• No longer connecting twice to multiplayer if the overlay is on and you enter the lobby via the main menu.
• You can now specify ships, buildings and landships for the player's use in mods.
• Mods screen now has better error reporting for when parsing of JSON files goes wrong.
• Moved all the images and sounds to the data folder, which both makes the game easier to understand for modders and should lead to generally smaller update downloads.
• Fixed crash when rendering ships using two mods at once.
• Multiplayer chat overlay button now blinks if there's unread messages.
• Rams are considered external modules again.
• Bigger, longer-lasting multiplayer messages.
• Uploaded ship previews are now GIFs showing both inside and outside.
• Troops no longer massacred by wheels and feet of nonmoving landships.
• Increased light armour HP by 50% to make them more competitive.
• Cancelling constructions is now correctly priced across the board: 25% of costs already spent, 100% of the rest.
• Multiline description input for uploading ships.
• Landscaping now doesn't add additional soil if there is already a stable surface.
• Command refresh now scales with time properly.
• Removed ability to rename ships in multiplayer setup because it caused network synchronization issues.
• Fixed missing flipped flamethrower.
• Flamethrower now more powerful, gatling gun less powerful, more expensive but also a bit more accurate.
• Light armours have 50% more HP to make them more competitive.
• Improved network error reporting.

• You can't add tags to mods or uploaded ships yet.
• The multiplayer server sometimes becomes unresponsive.
