0.22.3 (November 22)

New:
- Event cards are now able to stack together to avoid cluttering up the

Clicking on a card will now open up the 'stack' instead of the individual
card. This just means that when >1 card of a type is opened you now have
arrows that you can cycle through each one.

New launch options:

--enable-halloween, -s
--disable-halloween, -S
--enable-christmas, -c
--disable-christmas, -C
--disable-seasonal, -S
--disable-video, -V

Parameter styles can be mixed and POSIX style can be combined:

them in Steam's "Launch Options" for the game.
