UPDATE NOTES
💰 Economy & Finance
Fixed an issue where redeeming bonds could cause a profitable company to go bankrupt. The problem was caused by an incorrect order of debt repayment and net asset calculations during quarterly transitions.
Bonds issued by bankrupt companies no longer disappear from portfolios without notification. They now remain visible with a "Bankrupt!" label, and the player receives a notification letter from the company's director.
Bonds held by characters are now included in their net worth calculations.
Fixed coupon income calculations when selling or exchanging bonds.
Fixed an issue that caused companies to receive their profits twice before the start of a game.
Adjusted the default mechanics: exchanging bonds for shares is now restricted to AI-controlled characters who hold at least 20% of the bond issue.
🆕 New Features & Improvements
Bond coupon income is now taxed in the same way as dividends, including federal taxes and taxes imposed by the issuer's state.
The "Bonds & Loans" tab is now accessible for viewing by non-shareholders. Bond issuance and loan operations remain restricted, with tooltips explaining these limitations.
Added detailed tooltips for "Net Profit" and "Reserves", explaining quarterly profit forecasts and changes in company reserves.
Improved map tooltips during travel. The destination state now displays the expected arrival date, while other states indicate that tickets can only be purchased after the current journey is completed.
Added tooltips explaining why submitting a particular bill may be unavailable.
Added calculation formulas to income and yield tooltips in the contract interface.
Replaced the puppet icon displayed for political candidates with a heart-shaped loyalty indicator.
Added Portuguese localization.
🐞 Gameplay & Interface Fixes
Fixed an issue where the "State Law" window remained open after elections.
Deals with characters no longer require the player's personal funds when their company has sufficient funds available.

Fixed decimal separator formatting for the contract price modifier based on the player's ownership stake.
Adjusted company sorting when displayed prices are identical: holding companies now take priority over market companies.
Fixed missing character portraits on Linux. X11 is now the primary display protocol, with Wayland used as a fallback.
Fixed errors in the German translation of the Financier card description.
💥 Stability & Performance
