Bug Fixes:
Loading a saved game file made while a ship is under construction wouldn't properly re-enabled overclock modes.
When updating from a version of Cosmoteer prior to 0.29.0, Steam could sometimes fail to remove old decal files, causing multiplayer incompatibility. Multiplayer should now remain compatible even if Steam fails to remove the files.
Small Laser Blasters could sometimes fire through their own ship.
Shield arcs that protruded into the sun's heat zone wouldn't take damage if the ship itself didn't touch the heat zone.
A.I. ships would sometimes hail the player even though the player couldn't see them.
If a ship was transferred to another player while in direct control mode, then its new owner wouldn't be able to direct-control it until giving it another command first.
Manipulator beams could attempt (and fail) to deliver resources to blocked construction sites.
A.I. ships were treating Mining Lasers as harmless when deciding whether to surrender.
The "Pirate Hunter" mission's distance calculation was including ships that had already surrendered.
Ships with hyper-jump beacons were able to jump to themselves.
A.I. ships that were "killed" by scorching were not counting as kills for the purpose of mission completion.
Setting all crew job priorities in a group didn't work for any parts ordinarily hidden in stacks, such as M.R.T. Extenders or M.R.T. Fuel Pods.
Hyper-drives weren't spinning down as intended after completing a jump.
Hyper-drive charge level was resetting after loading a save file.
The "X souls want to join your crew. Increase your fame to Y to pursuade more." message could often show a lower fame amount than was actually required.
Station guard ships weren't properly patrolling around their station as intended.
Trade ships could sometimes get stuck when flying through star systems with a lot of electron clouds.
Overclocked Small Shields showed the incorrect distance stat for extended mode.
Modding:
If a decal folder contains a file called "whitelist.txt", only those decals present in the whitelist will be loaded. (The developer menu now has an command to automatically generate these files for all decal folders.)
All resource storage components (except for flex grids) now support a 'GiveResourceMediaEffects' parameter.
ContinuousEffects now supports an optional 'UpdateMediaBuffs' parameter that, if true, will allow its effects to dynamically update depending on the part's buffs.
BeamEmitter now supports 'AntiPhasingRaycastDistance' just like BulletEmitter.
ContinuousEffects now supports an optional 'PlayEndMediaOnNonOperational' parameter. (Defaults to true.)
Buff providers now support optional 'BlueprintOverlayToggle' and 'InvertBlueprintOverlayToggle' parameters to control whether their blueprint overlays are rendered.
Parts now support an optional 'PartNetworkOverlayMidpoint' parameter which controls where the midpoint for part networks is rendered.
Part toggle choices now support a 'SelectedSound' that will play when that choice is selected.
The "Huge Crews" mod now greatly increases the crew job and resource assignment rates.
The Example Mod's decal is now added to the "shapes" tab.
