Release plans Klonan

This week we released version 0.17.79, and marked it stable. Internally we have been calling this 'Stable 3', and the main feature was the new tooltips we showed in FFF-318.

There is one constraint we put on ourselves when we started this more swift feature release schedule: We want to avoid breaking mods.

It being a heavily modded game my first reaction was to blame it on the mods doing something in a very unoptimized way. But I had to test it to figure out which mod was causing the problem. After reprodu...
