+'''NEW HUD'''
+The placeholder HUD has been revamped and almost completely replaced with a new design.
+* Critical resources are now shown bottom left of the screen.
+* The toolbar is replaced with a set of icons.
+* The different views are now a vertical stack of buttons in the bottom right of the screen.
+* A new indicator top left shows the ship name, author, Hull status, Atmosphere status, and Power status.
+* Shipyard services now appear at the top of the screen. (Repair ship, Buy ship, Sell ship, Fabricate ship)
+'''Note:''' The old HUD is still used temporarily in two areas that are unfinished:
+* Construction popup
+* Fleet orders popup
+'''Story Episodes changes'''
+* Completely revamped introduction (much shorter), with a new ship and a new tutorial.
+* The Stargate industry introduction has been removed. It will return as a story episode soon.
+* All story episodes are now "discovered" on the sector map, rather than the Contracts screen.
+* New gold highlights and tooltips for all special episode locations on the sector map.
+* '''"Black Hole Sun"'''
+** Part 3 Hidden until Julian calls you when he is ready to rescue his brother. The episode is then automatically accepted.
+** The Black Hole Sun 3 'Short Hop' system is no longer a large distance away across the map.
+** Fix Julian's ship from Black Hole Sun 3 being able to jump to any system.
+** Fix any ship being able to rescue Marcus in Black Hole Sun 3, and not just Julian.
+* '''"The trouble with Tiddlets"''' has returned, and is now a playable episode (Part 1 only, for now).
+'''SMALL CHANGES'''
+* NPC ships will now order critical supplies when in a trading location (Fuel, Oxygen, Water, Crew, Spacesuits) when required.
+* When highlighting any piece of equipment, the extra tooltip information will only show when the ship is one of your fleet.
+* Allow to transfer/cancel transfer entire stack by ctrl clicking.
+* You can now freely select text in an input field by holding 'SHIFT'.
+* You can now select all text in an input field by pressing 'CTRL+A'.
+* Selected text is preserved when the input field is deselected.
+* Ship Editor: Destroying cells now destroys any equipment in those cells.
+* FTL drives on the selected ship are now preferred when choosing a drive for a hyperspace jump.
+* The camera is now attached to the ship when in TACTICAL view, the same as normal view.
+* Clicking a Location Link in the Missions Window or Missions Summary now also sets that system as an FTL destination.
+* Location Links for mission objectives will no longer appear in the Missions Summary after that objective has been completed.
+* You can now collapse mission summaries the same way as rating, by right-clicking to close and left-clicking to open.
+* You can now filter search in all tabs of the trade window.
+* The trade window now defaults to 'all items' instead of being blank.
+* Change the end of the introduction tutorial to fit with new episode discovery.
+* Galaxy map now has special indicators for episodes:
+** Episode starting systems are now gold.
+** Regular systems you need to visit as part of an episode have a gold outline.
+** Any system with a Location Link to it as part of an episode now has a tooltip on the map to see what you need to do there.
+* The 'STARGATE' location now has a normal location name - NG0.
+* Drones now treat actual salvage as higher priority over raw materials.
+* When you start a New Game your ship is now 'inside' a shipyard.
+* Save files are now filtered when saving a game.
+'''BUG FIXES'''
+* {{Issue|217|pre=Issue}}: Fleet Logistics still makes drones faff when preparing to jump.
+* {{Issue|283|pre=Issue}}: Short Robot Arm won't unload Black Box Recorder from Drone Bay onto Track.
+* {{Issue|293|pre=Issue}}: Hydroponic garden won't grow.
+* {{Issue|292|pre=Issue}}: Cargo items stacking to silly sizes.
+* Crash when removing a piece of track that was in a loop.
+* Fix crash in Main Menu when viewing long file lists.
+* Fix crash in Tiddlet fire.
+* Fix cargo being moved around unnecessarily. If a job exists to move cargo to a storage zone, and you place a new storage zone that is at least as good under it, the job to move it is now cancelled.
+* Fix storage window not placing any storage when it is first opened.
+* Fix A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing Part 3 not being playable after completing Part 2.
+* Fix A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing Part 3 pirate attacking you in another mission's system.
+* Fix shuttle leaving on reload.
+* Only the FTL drive responsible for jumping will light up during a jump.
+* Only the FTL drive responsible for jumping will consume the contents of its FTL charge.
+** This caused the FTL resource counter to be off-by-one when you have multiple FTL drives on a ship.
+* Fix Audio bug after the opening text when starting a new game.
+* Fix objects remaining silent when you switch system and should hear them again.
+* Fix some objects, such as engines, not pausing correctly when the main menu is open.
+* You can no longer sell Julian's ship from Black Hole Sun at a Shipyard.
+* Fix FTL window saying 'NO FTL FOUND' when you have no ship selected to travel.
+* Fix Trade window telling you you cannot afford a trade when it is for the exact amount of cash you have.
+* Fix Black Hole Sun 3 game crash when trying to take control of Julian's ship outside of the Black Hole system.
+* Fix Mouse clicks from game world being detected on the sector map.
+* Fix ships undocking from each other when they are all FTL jumping in survival and creative mode.
+* Fix the tutorial window blocking input to the game world after the tutorial is over.
+* Fix it looking like you have placed a storage zone in the output of a docking port. Instead, the visual is cancelled immediately.
+* Fix bug where you cannot interact with the tutorial window while the map is open.
+* Fix bug where the tutorial window highlight for the FTL button is the wrong color.
+'''New community ships added to the base game - thank you!'''
