• Content: 17 new quests, 8 new opportunity, 45 new events, 1 new interaction, 1 new unit action (special thanks to Alberich, acciabread)
• UI rework: Almost all menu had its UI reworked, especially the quest menu where most of players time is spent on
• New features: Favor, ire, lore, and more
• Content creator UI work: Built-in code editor with toolbar, syntax highlighting, result preview. Guide is also in-game now
• Imagework: Icons have been entirely replaced with SVGs, and many are redone. They also uses the new, non-intrusive tooltips

Many thanks to the contributors to this project, and especially to Naraden, acciabread, and Alberich.
