• Featured workshop item subscription can be managed from the title menu.
  
• Workshop subscriptions changed while in-game are detected and update the maps list.
  

Server Workshop Improvements:

• Moved WorkshopDownloadIDs.json into WorkshopDownloadConfig.json. Server now caches query results and will retry when query fails.

Quality of Life:

• Flashbangs can no longer be used in safezones or around friendly sentry guns.
  
• Teleport command and NPC teleport rewards now report when destination was obstructed.

• Stockpile new label is now dismissed when the button is clicked.
  

Map Creation:

• Added support for per-level tips, enabled by setting "Tips" to a number in Config.json, and then adding Tip_0, Tip_1, Tip_# to localization file.
  
• Added level Allow_Skills and Allow_Information config.
  
• Added Prevent_Building_Near_Spawnpoint_Radius to level config (default 16.0).

• Replaced serversideSetPluginModal with EPluginWidgetFlags granting more control of UI.
  
• Tidied up some of the damage events by moving parameters into structs, and tracking the damage instigator.

Server Console:

• Hosts can now specify -NoWin32Console on the command line to prevent the Windows server from manually allocating/freeing a console window.
  
• Separated Windows-specific console input/output from shared console code, and allowed plugins to override IO handling by implementing ICommandInputOutput and calling setIOHandler. When using a custom handler you can specify -NoDefaultConsole on the command line.
