[p]We’ve just released Build 0.543, a major impact update that completely rewires the game’s UI from the ground up.
This includes updates to nearly every element: buttons, scrollbars, input fields, and more.[/p][h3]What’s New[/h3]

• [p]Full UI Rewrite; the entire interface has been rebuilt for stability and scalability.[/p]
• [p]Improved Layout & Scaling; UI should now adapt better to different resolutions and aspect ratios.[/p]
• [p]Quality-of-Life Enhancements; input responsiveness, scrollbar consistency, and general polish.[/p]

[p]Tip: If your resolution or ratio feels off, you can access UI scale controls in the Dev UI (press F8) to tweak things. This isn’t a supported feature yet, but it can help smooth out display issues.[/p][h3]Testing & Feedback[/h3][p]This update lays the foundation for the new UI going forward, and we’d love your feedback.
Please test every part of the interface; every button, input, and corner of the menu; and let us know what’s working and what isn’t.[/p][p][/p][p]This is a demo build which is on a beta branch, and so it must be activated.
