Update Notes for v1.04

Level Editor: Added Teleporter and Teleporter Exit objects - both can also be animated
Level Editor: Triggers can now be added as animated, too - they can then also be trigger targets themselves
Level Editor: Animated triggers can also have disabled keyframes, allowing triggers to enable or disable other triggers
Level Editor: It is now possible to specify which object types activate a trigger (vehicles, animations and/or other objects)
Level Editor: Animations can now have curved paths between keyframes (parabolic, sinusoidal or circular)
Level Editor: Animations can now have a parent animation, in which case the movement is added on top of the parent's movement
Level Editor: Added a new dynamic mesh type: Slab - like cuboid but with a different animation rotation axis and modifications
Level Editor: Added support for loading up to 20 custom 3D meshes per level, (Wavefront OBJ, max 250 triangles), static only
Level Editor: Multiround events can now be tested alone in the editor (if enabled in the test event settings)
AI drivers now take a bit more fuel than before (with random variation) - underestimating fuel usage is less probable
AI drivers now have more random variation in the number of stops in their initial strategy
AI settings now allow enabling pit strategy debug and tuning initial strategy stint lengths and random variation
AI Editor: When Pit Testing is set to custom, strategy debug is automatically on and stint properties can be changed
AI drivers now follow paths slightly better (very small difference, old campaigns with AI drivers not affected)
Fixed active triggers sometimes shown as inactive when joining or reconnecting an ongoing game
Miscellaneous other minor fixes and improvements

Update Notes for v1.03.2 (Minor client-only update)

Patched a recently found potential Unity security issue: https://unity.com/security/sept-2025-01
Recording Player / Playback Settings: Local player name highlighting can now be disabled, then also shown as a ghost in ghost races
Audio settings: It is now possible to enable ghost vehicle engine audio in ghost races and recordings (event restart needed)
Pressing Shift+1 (by default) in spectator mode now starts following the leader, Shift+2 goes back to the previously selected player
Fixed minor audio glitches, especially wheel skidding noise sometimes starting out too loud
Fixed tag effect blinking too fast as a client in online games (in both tag and capture battle game modes)
Fixed sometimes showing wrong way indicator when just rejoined (or spectating) and not completed any checkpoints yet
Miscellaneous other minor fixes and improvements

Update Notes for v1.03

New experimental feature: AI Players can now pit on tracks that have AI pitting lines defined
All built-in circuits have AI pitting lines for built-in vehicles
AI Editor: Users can create, test and share AI pitting lines for custom levels and vehicles (read the in-game guide to know how)
Current limitations: AI pit strategies can be sub-optimal, many AI drivers pitting at the same time can get messy
AI Editor: It is now possible to change the game speed when spectating AI players (with Left/Right by default)
Level Editor: Animations and triggers can now be set to reset between battle rounds and soccer goals (by level properties)
Level Editor: Increased the max number of objects and modifiers, also slightly increased the max complexity in large baseworlds
Level Editor: Default road angle threshold changed from 5 to 3 to have smoother turns by default
Level Editor: Default tilting center moved to the center of the road
Admin can now use command /team
1 to make everyone join Team 1 (Auto Adjust Team Sizes still works as before to balance teams)
Unbalanced team sizes are now possible also in Soccer and two-team base battles, but with at most 10 players per team
When completing several checkpoints in one tick, not allowing wrong order (caused "Invalid stats update" warnings on some tracks)
AI system no longer auto-generates paths for all alternative routes (fixes a rare issue on tracks with dummy alt routes)
Vehicle Editor: It is now possible to define a min slip angle and range for smoke and skidmark effect when sliding
Graphics Settings: It is now possible to reduce the smoke and dust particle lifetime for better performance on low-end machines
When a remote admin is leaving a server, now showing a confirmation dialog if auto-advancing is not on (timer paused)
Miscellaneous other minor fixes and improvements
