>As we still have a lot of content to announce and only three days of the journal left, the next two days of entries will be 'shotgun' style - that is, they'll consist of lots of medium and minor-level additions and changes, mostly culled from the suggestions forum, done rapid-fire style. The final entry on Friday will then return to normal.
Searchable Handbook
>The in-game handbook has been upgraded to allow it to be fully searchable. For example, you could type "tour contracts" and it will return any entry that contains that phrase. This makes finding things much easier.
Loading Screen Profiles
>An option to turn off random worker profiles on the loading screen has been added, together with separate folders so that appropriate skins can be created. This means that artists can make some creative artworks to appear during the loading process without needing to accommodate the worker's picture, biography and stats.
Beefed Up Searches
>By request, many of the search facilities, particularly in the editors, have been enhanced with new options to allow more precise searching. In particular, you can now filter by precise worker skills in the main editor.
Death Dates
>Specific death dates for workers can now be given, removing the need to look it up or use part of their biography to store the information. These can be preset via the editor and are filled in automatically during gameplay. They are optional so this does not require extra work for database makers unless they want to use them.
Background Graphics Toggle
>Background images can be toggled for those who are not using GIF format images. This both saves loading times and was requested by some people who found that it created a 'flashing' effect on roster screens.
Audible Clicks
>By request, clicking buttons now plays a short sound to give the user feedback. This can be disabled via the top menu if desired.
