I've just pushed version 1.0.2549. This is an update to version 1.0.The only change is that the game will no longer log errors when processing mod metadata (About.xml) from a multi-version mod that supports 1.0 and 1.1. It's purely a small compatibility fix.

A new version of 1.1 unstable has just been posted.- Improved the code that auto-generates packageIds for old mods. It should generate somewhat meaningful packageIds where possible, and use some hashed data to avoid collisions.
- Medieval weapons can no longer be biocoded since it made no sense.
- Fixed an issue that caused spurious error happens if a mod defines no defs, but still has patches.
- Fixed mod sorting tool using packageId with postfix.
- Removed warnings on duplicate mods present but only one of them active
- Fixed typos and outdated references in ModUpdating.xml.
- Re-labeled some animal trainables to better match what they actually mean. "Obedience" is now called "Guard", and "Release" is now called "Attack".
- Removed some guard and attack trainability from a few animals where it didn't make sense and broke gameplay roles.Regarding the last entry above, the goal is to move towards a situation where animals have identifiable purposes distinct from each other. There should be so... Read more

I've just pushed a compatibility update to RimWorld version 1.0 (not version 1.1 unstable).It removes the spurious errors that 1.0 creates when reading mod metadata (About.xml) written for 1.1.The new version is 1.0.2548.

A new build of 1.1 unstable is up! Just some minor fixes.The changes are:- Fixed a bug that caused mods to not load if they added defs using patches (which is useful if you want to add a def based on some condition).
- In About.xml, we changed back to for consistency. Modders can remove now.
- We rewrote part of ModUpdating to reflect the fact that 1.0 can load some content from a folder named "1.0", and removed corresponding warnings from code. See ModUpdating.txt for full details.

Thanks for the ongoing feedback everyone! And to our excellent volunteer testers and modders for giving such useful feedback. It's really down to them that this release has gone smoothly. Read more

I've just pushed a regular player content and localizations update, to version 1.0.2408.This update doesn't change any code or core content in the game, it only updates player-created names and characters, and translations data.All save games and mods should be compatible.

I've just pushed an update to build 1.0.2282.Changes:

• Game loading has been optimized, especially with mods. You should see significantly faster loading.
  
• Player-created content updated.
  
• Localizations updated.

This update should be compatible with existing savegames and mods.EDIT: Compatibility issue with Zetrith's Multiplayer mod has been fixed by some very responsive modders!

EDIT: This was updated to 1.0.2282. It should now be compatible with pretty much everything except the ModCheck mod. Please let us know about any problems in the comments! Reading carefully.Original post below:On the unstable beta branch, you'll find version 1.0.2271. This version is almost the same as the previous version, with the following changes:

• A potential fix for a bug that can cause very slow loading of mods in some cases.
  
• Updated language data to latest version.
  
• Updated player-created names with all approved content.

Mostly we're looking to test the first of the above. It would be awesome if any player who had trouble with slow loading of mods (anything over a minute or two) would give the unstable branch a try and let us know if anything changes.Thanks in advance to anyone who can give feedback on this in the comments here or in the Ludeon forums[ludeon.com]!The new version should be compatible with all saves and mods, except possibly a few mods that directly interact with ho...

I’ve just released a technical update to version 1.0 of RimWorld. It should be 100% compatible with all existing savegames and mods. The new version is 1.0.2150.Steam will auto-update. If you’re playing the DRM-free version of the game you can go download it now from your permanent personal download link which was emailed to you.Aside from updating translations and player content, and fixing a handful critical bugs, the new version’s main purpose is to add support for multi-version mods. Previously one entry in Steam workshop could only work with one version of RimWorld. This causes problems when we release a new version: Players can’t continue on the old version since some mods are updated, but can’t continue on the new version since not all mods are updated.Now, mods will be able to support multiple versions simply by putting version-specific files in directories named for the target game version. Other files from the mod’s base directory are used in all versions, as before.For modde... Read more
