Hi Everyone,
Welcome to a new Stable Release! This stable represent over a year work by the dev team, our contributors, and 1000's of hours of play from players finding and reporting things in all the programs to make them better.
We have lots planned for the next Dev cycle, with Princess going to war college, the ability to build and use Support Vehicles in accordance with the rules, a fully semi-canon generated universe, and of course continued work on stability.
See the attached file for summary of everything that's been fixed/added since the last stable.
**FOR MAC USERS**There isn't a Mac release and you'll have to use the Unix release. We are continuing to have issues with Gradle packaging scripts and various security settings in MacOS. We have no ETA for a fix, as lot of depends on factors outside our control.

Also a reminder to drop into the
Slack channel to meet other players and harass the devs that drop in and out.
As a reminder when moving between versions:
1) Make backups of your campaigns and customs.
2) Always treat each release as a stand alone release and only copy your data forward from older versions.
3) This thread is for discussing the release. Bugs should be reported by opening an issue on the appropriate tracker on GitHub. Anything reported here is likely to be buried in the discussion and forgotten by the time we get a chance to work on it.
This will be VERY important if you are moving from the old Stable to this Stable. There is a good chance you’ll have issues in MekHQ with unit name changes. If you get errors loading your campaign as result of unit name errors please see this post.
