We've added backwards compatibility for previous default branch saves. Since we're still testing this feature, we highly recommend making a backup of your save before loading it in the beta branch. While we couldn't find any errors on our side, experience has shown that you guys are way better at finding issues like that, so we want to be sure that no data is lost when loading your old saves. In order to guarantee that, a backup is made of every file that needs conversion.

• Removed collaboration component since Alliances replace this functionality
• Added experimental backwards compatibility for saves created in the beta branch
• A backup of the sector file will be created before converting, so no data will be lost if the conversion fails
• Please report conversion errors in the forum or via the bugtracker so we can fix them!
• Independent turrets now get their targets assigned by the server and no longer search them on the client
• Mining and Salvaging AI commands now no longer continue when there was a player entering the ship

• Broken scripts are removed from scriptable objects on when loaded from database

• Trading routes tab is disabled when trading module doesn't support it
• Added a Beta Branch notification when starting the game

• Added a new "onPlanModifiedByBuilding" callback for when the Plan component is modified through building

Ever since we first released Avorion, we noticed both the wish and active attempts to translate Avorion into other languages. We think that translations are an essential feature, and after getting lots and lots of propositions for community translations we're now giving you the tools to help in the process.
We decided to do community translations since Avorion is under very active development and texts are constantly changing. This way we can provide a way for the translations to adapt to the current state of the game.
So we launched translate.avorion.net, an official community translation hub, where everybody can contribute to translate Avorion to various different languages.

To make things easier for inexperienced people, we also wrote a quick guide where we briefly discuss the pitfalls and problems to consider while translating:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=940484836

If your language isn't available and you want to translate it, please send us a quick mail at translate@avorion.net.

We also know that there are a few finished translations already around, so if you want your translation to be added to the database, send us a quick mail to translate@avorion.net with your .po file so we can add it to the database.

Thank you all for reading and thank you very much if you decide to help translating Avorion!
