The eleventh scenery patch is now released with the following changes:
Editors
- Fixed problem with route editor map view becoming unresponsive after adding a new chain but cancelling immediately
- Fixed possible crash in route editor when left-clicking on things in the map view
- Fixed crash in route editor when changing a node's model source to cutout speed limits while model ID is blank
- Fixed route editor to update map view after removing things like nodes
- Fixed possible broken animations when manually placing multiple instances of the same animated model
- Removed option to merge a looping track into itself in route editor because it would crash
- Disabled compression when saving data to files in order to make the process more robust
- Changed file writing to automatically save a .backup copy of the previous file
Editor side panel
- Fixed possible crash when selecting an option from the editor side panel
- Fixed problem with side panel tree not responding correctly to mouse button clicks until after clicking at least once on the map view
- Fixed problem with random tree item being highlighted after selecting an option from a list in the side panel
- Fixed editor side panel to scroll back to the correct position after selecting an option
- Fixed bug where a new child node added via the side panel would not appear correctly
- Renamed side panel bottom edge "Add" button to "OK" since "Add" doesn't make sense in some contexts
Signalling
- Fixed possible crash in signaller AI
- Fixed signaller AI to not clear a signal if the signal section overlaps an earlier cleared section (which might lead to conflicting route setting at junctions in looping tracks)
- Added option to create a fixed distant (one that always shows "caution")
- Added option to link a distant to the next signal only, effectively creating a repeater
- Added "SigRoutes" to the route editor side panel when the properties of a signal are opened. These represent the possible paths from that signal onwards to other signals or track sections/ends that can be cleared
- Added signal option to disable the automatic update of sigroutes
Custom signal models
- Added option to hide the default models of signals and distants
- Added function to create the equivalent default model of a signal or distant as plain editable nodes and animations
- Added entity ID field to node animation data for linking the animation variables to a particular object like a signal or a distant
- Changed distant and signal descriptions to include the entity ID in the editor side panel
- Added GWR siding arm model to the built-in library
Miscellaneous
- Fixed possible crash when loading a route
- Fixed possible crash when generating LODs
- Fixed crash when loading a packed model that has invalid file path characters in its ID
- Fixed possible crash when loading a packed model with high number of vertices
- Fixed cutout speed limit signs: reshaped '6', rescaled '7' and restored old thinner and more realistic arrows
- Reduced memory consumption of the terrain system
- Added low memory notification

What's next?
The next major update will be the gameplay update (more on that later), and smaller patches as required.
