Ripped verbatim by BT's steam post
QUOTE Hi all! It's been a few weeks since the last patch, mostly due to scheduling conflicts on my end. But that's all sorted out, and we've got a bunch of great features for you this time. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release, that was a whole lot of pull requests (over 500 files were modified for this patch alone!)
We're always looking for contributors, join us in discord: https://discord.gg/JfTMzPd and of course on GitHub: https://github.com/FreeAllegiance
Thanks for playing!
**Gameplay:**
- After disengaging autopilot thrust is set to 0% or 100% based on current thrust, instead of thrust trying to match current speed (Rock)
- New default keymap. You can esc->G->C and press reset to get it if you are still on the old one and you want to move. (Blackdutchie, Bunny, Thallium, many more)
- Free Flight Mode (Training Mission 10) added to help with development. You can use this mode with the -training switch to quickly get into the combat view and fly around bypassing all the normal start up screens. (Radulfr)
**Visuals:**
- "Space dust" showing movement: Spawn rate uncoupled from fps. It only spawns when moving now. (Rock)
- Debug code accidentally got included a month back which made explosions and other effects look wimpy. This has been reverted (BackTrak, Rock)
**UI:**
- Help screen (F1) has been replaced by an image showing the keymap (Spinoza, Bunny, Loran)

**General Graphics:**
- Made 1366x768 the default resolution when launching the game for the first time. (Rock, Bunny)
- Added/allowed resolutions 1920x1200 and 256x1440 (Rock)
- Use a single resolution everywhere in the game. Enables changing resolution in the main menu. Uses registry entries CombatXScreen/CombatYScreen. (Rock)
- Scale screens automatically to fill the larger resolution (Rock)
- Switch to windowed borderless when in windowed mode and resolution size larger than the monitor. (Rock)
**Server:**
- Stability fixes (Backtrak)
