    1. Desynced 1.0.18154
    2.  
    3. Behavior Editing Improvements
    4.  
    5. Added windowed mode to behavior editor (limited view which still allows map and unit control)
    6.  
    7. Added new guided behavior tutorials (accessible via the behavior help welcome screen)
    8.  
    9. Added faction wide memory as an option for all memory behavior instructions (and also in the Memory Viewer window in the behavior editor)
    10.  
    11. In the Memory Viewer, add deleting of a single array besides just the 'Clear All' button
    12.  
    13. Performance statistics for behaviors: Adds a new special view in the 'Library' window with statistics for instructions executed per second as well a line of text with stats at the top when editing a behavior main routine
    14.  
    15. Added view options to behavior editor to control camera zoom/height as well as allow the main editor to be made transparent to show the game view behind it
    16.  
    17. Make behavior instruction search also match the English names even in other languages as well as make it ignore spaces (so "canequip" will find "Can Equip")
    18.  
    19. Find certain instructions by a list alternative names (i.e. "set" or "assign" will also find the 'Copy' instruction)
    20.  
    21. Overhaul of instruction categories (into "Flow", "Logic", "Loops", "Values", "Units", "Movement", "Inventory", "Logistics", "Components", "Production", "Communication", "World", "Memory")
    22.  
    23. Instead of stopping a behavior on a crash (i.e. exceeding unlock step limit or call depth), keep it paused so the failure can be inspected in the behavior editor
    24.  
    25. Rework behavior unlocking: When an unlocked behavior ends and restarts, reset unlock state and wait 1 tick
    26.  
    27. Rework behavior unlocking: Add extra options to the unlock instruction to allow specifying the instruction limit and 2 modes 'Pause on limit' and 'Continue next tick'
    28.  
    29. Rework behavior unlocking: When starting a server besides disabling unlocking, a maximum limit of allowed unlocked instructions can be set
    30.  
    31. New instruction 'Return': For called sub-behaviors with an optional branch name which enables diverting the logic to a different path on the outer call node
    32.  
    33.  
    34. Additions
    35. Added game option to disable story related popups
    36.  
    37. Added icon to 'Foundation' object type radar filter that is distinct from the foundation unit type icon
    38.

    44.  
    45. Show boosted movement speed more exactly in the unit tooltip (rounded to one decimal place)
    46.  
    47. Make a drone which has its GOTO register explicitly set to 1 not automatically dock (until now docking was done with both 1 and the default 0)
    48.  
    49. Keep items reserved on the ground when placing a new construction over it (avoids items and components for relocation getting absorbed)
    50.  
    51. Don't show contents of a dropped item in a register with a target reference if the player faction has no visibility on it
    52.

    60.  
    61. For a bot that isn't connected or without "Deliver Items" set, require items requested by the player via the unit interface to be delivered by an order carrier in the same network (instead of having the bot go pick it up by itself, even across logistics networks)
    62.  
    63. Clarify register selection category names ('Object Type' became 'Filter Value', 'Value' became 'Label Value')
    64.  
    65. Removed the 4 docking garage item slots of the Alien Pincer unit
    66.  
    67. Rename buildings to match the actual size as it appears at the default rotation (all "Building 2x1" are now "Building 1x2" and "Building 3x2 (2M2S)" is now "Building 2x3 (2M2S)")
