- Fixed unit count buttons resetting when the commanded unit count changes
- Fixed heat crafters having infinite output storage capacity
- Changed missile explosion visuals based on whether they exploded on a target or were shot down
- The 'fullscreen' option now uses borderless fullscreen; the separate 'borderless fullscreen' option has been removed
- Potentially fixed the screen getting bright in fullscreen on desktop (this may need to be fixed upstream in SDL 3.4.x)
Hotfix 155.2:
- Fixed unloaders backflowing into containers
- Fixed scrolling not working on certain Linux desktops
- Fixed Precept dealing 10 damage instead of 120

Hotfix 155.4:
This release reverts the upgrade from SDL2 to SDL3. SDL3 had too many bugs to be usable - R/B channel color swaps, overly bright windows, broken scaling, crashing on wayland, etc.
These issues should now be fixed again. This also means that the fullscreen/borderless window options have been returned to their pre-155 state.

- Fixed double-clicking a sector bypassing launch checks
- Fixed more bugs with bullet collision logic
- Minor adjustments to salvo copper ammo
- 32-bit Windows builds now display an error when launching, and will be discontinued in the future entirely
