PRAWN Update Comprehensive Changelog

Hi everyone! We hope you’re having a blast in the PRAWN Update. Be sure to visit the PRAWN Update site to see what’s inside. What follows is a less exciting, more granular look at PRAWN’s contents.

Beyond the headline features, PRAWN includes a plethora of smaller changes. Some of these changes fix (or attempt to fix) bugs, others change balance, or tweak the way the story unfolds.

While many of these changes are directly applicable to PRAWN, some of them will be fixing or changing things introduced during PRAWN’s development. So they are not all relevant, but we have done our best to strip this list to only include changes made since the last major update.
