2.4.4 (Annotation system, multiplayer fixes and more)
2.4.4 deals mainly with multiplayer fixed, but also adds a cool new system called "annotations" (accessible from the vehicle V menu and visible when the game is paused, or in build mode)
It also makes a really nice quality of life change to the UI where holding middle mouse or holding E (both rebindable) allows the "mouse look" in all interfaces. Keyboard moving of the camera is already active in UIs so now you can really explore things whilst you have a UI open.
A number of other bugs have also been fixed, but are small and as such I did not put them into the change log.
v2.4.4 [Add] : Added 'annotation' options for vehicles (accessible from V menu). These are visible when the game is paused (F11) or you are building on the design. See DWG 'Duster' for first examples.
v2.4.4 [Add] : Holding middle mouse or pressing E allows you to 'mouse look' from inside an open user interface. Available in almost all UIs. Rebindable in the options menu.
