The Lindqvist release is dominated by substantial support for i18n. Large swaths of the text strings are gettext annotated and ready for translation. Also this release brings unicode support for text messages, though unicode map rendering is still in progress. Other major new features include a plethora of new advanced bionics, an item autopickup feature, and moddable item spawn lists. See the changelog for the other awesome new features and bugfixes.

Ahh! I want to get off work early today. Curse you devs for releasing the new version so early in the morning, on a Wendsday. It should come out on a Friday, just as the regular workday is closing.

I know a few days ago someone mentioned something about a fix for bears spawning inside of houses. Did that fix make it into .7? Also, thanks for all the hard work in getting this out devs!

Yes the fix for that made it in, there should be no more bears spawning in buildings. (or if they do itās really rare, like some buildings might have areas designated as outside, so they will still spawn there.)
Weāll see about a fix for the windows crash ASAP and do a point release for it.

I see we have broken from the Loa naming convention already.

I was settled on Apocalyptic Authors, Iām not at all sure where the Loa thing even came from. I was under the impression that Brigette was the name of an author, I guess things got scrambled during the previous releases since we keep picking them at the last minute.
Item spawn lists are defined in data/raw/item\_groups.json
