It is now possible to make vehicles jump when using a booster (Event Settings > Weapons > Booster Jump)
Collector: Added option to limit how many collectibles are initially available - new ones spawned when existing ones collected
Collector: Added option to be able to lose more than only the latest collected item when getting wrecked multiple times

New experimental game mode and level type: King of the Hill (sometimes shortened as Hill)
In a King of the Hill event, the (surviving) player who stays longest on an active hilltop zone wins
King of the Hill team modes: Balanced Cumulative Time, Unbalanced Cumulative Time, Alone Time and Cumulative Individual Points
If the level has several hilltops, event settings define when and how it changes - hilltop can also be animated
Capture the Flag: Team flag and base (return point) can now be added as separate objects, allowing new kind of CtF battles
Spread Tag: Added the possibility to give extra session points for tagging others (non-team members)
Max initial load time for missiles increased from 60 to 120 seconds
Sumo: It's now possible to change the team rules so that team member points determine the team positions (instead of survival)
Fixed commands /forcevehicle, /limitmissiles and /limitboosters not working with AI players (use '/who /ai' to see AI player names)
Admin can now set AI player team with '/team "AI Player" ' - use '/team /ai' to see AI player teams
Vehicle engine sound is now disabled when rolling on material that has zero acceleration
Level Editor: Max number of custom meshes increased from 40 to 60
Level Editor: Max object count increased from 700 to 900, complexity limits still the same
Level Editor: Added a third blank road texture to be usable for roads (with a unique changeable color)
Level Editor: Fixed a rare error when loading certain custom object mesh files
It is no longer possible to retire from sumo, battle, tag or hill events (to not prevent others getting wreck points)

Update Notes for v1.06
Added command '/forcevehicle' alias '/fv', forces vehicle for the next event, either by player name or start position(s) Forced vehicle must be choosable, AI must also have lines for it - vehicle can be given by name or choosable index '/fv Player Sporty' forces Player to have Sp
Added command '/forcevehicle' alias '/fv', forces vehicle for the next event, either by player name or start position(s)

Forced vehicle must be choosable, AI must also have lines for it - vehicle can be given by name or choosable index
'/fv Player Sporty' forces Player to have Sporty in the next event (assuming it is choosable, AI must have lines)
'/fv /pos 1 1' forces player starting from P1 to have the first choosable vehicle, '/fv /pos 1-5 1' does the same for first five
'/fv /pos 1-20+4 Drifty' makes every fourth player have Drifty in the next event
'/pos' can be omitted, but it is recommended to use it in case there are players with numbers as names
'/fv' shows the forced vehicles, '/fv /clear' clears them
Added commands '/limitmissiles' alias '/lm' and '/limitboosters' alias '/lb', to limit missiles for player, car or position(s)

'/lm Player 0' makes Player not have missiles in the next event
'/lb /pos 1-5 0' makes the first five players not have boosters ('/pos' optional but recommended)
'/lm /veh Sporty 2' makes Sporty drivers not have more than 2 missiles ('/veh' optional but recommended)
'/lm' or '/lb' show limits, cleared with '/clear'
Added command '/who /ai' to list the current AI players (may still change when the event starts if AI settings changed)
Added the possibility to record session archives, saving settings and stats for all events (under Settings/Recording)
Admin can replay an archived session, either by using a button at Session Init or by command /loadsession (alias /session)

Replaying a session recorded by host means replaying the same levels with the same event settings, vehicles and AI settings
Client session archives don't contain all settings, most notably AI settings are missing
To prepare a session to be played later, you can record a session by changing settings and skipping the actual events
It is possible to add event specific /broadcast, /fv, /lb and /lm commands to the session archive (under Event/Special)
An audio cue is now played when a missile is ready to be launched (if only one local player or activated in Playback Settings)
Missile Initial Load Time can now be given as seconds, too, allowing much longer times (if value over 100)
Remote admins: Levels and vehicles you don't yet have are now shown last in the selectors (with the default order)
Level Editor: Added a second blank road texture to be usable for roads (with a unique changeable color)
AI Editor: It is now possible to save and load AI Group and AI Player properties as json
Camera FOV can now be set to be extremely low (1 deg) - meant for special free camera screenshots
Shortcut obstacle y coordinates are now better if there is an obstacle in the start position
Event type or lap count is now shown just before start, too

Added support for booster missiles - when launched, they provide extra acceleration for a short amount of time
Added support for rear missiles - they can be enabled either with or without front missiles
Added button/key to change the selected missile type if several types are available
Race settings now support visualizing shortcuts or placing walls on them (if hit, lap not ok for leaderboards)

Added admin command /mute, '/mute Player 5' mutes Player for 5 minutes
Added admin command /mutes, shows the list of muted players (with options to /add, /remove and /clear)
Level Editor: Max number of custom meshes doubled to 40
Level Editor: Custom mesh object complexity is now reduced if it is a decal, convex or doesn't have shadows
Level Editor: Forced max pit speed can now be lowered more (to one third of the max speed)
Soccer Settings: It is now possible to allow manual respawning in a soccer event
Vehicle Selector: Added tooltip with more information to the vehicle image (like in the level selector)
Event Stats: The number of laps completed is now shown if the clock ran out
File browser: Fixed a crash when renaming a folder fails
Fixed missile sync issues, especially for AI players (caused warps in online games and recordings)
Event Settings: Added annotations and indentations to some settings and special values
Host: When eventend.src is run, it gets one of these end reasons as a parameter, replacing %1: Finished, RestartNormal, RestartImmediate, RestartImmediateBehind, AbortGivePoints, AbortNoPoints

Special Stages: Automatic quick restart when playing alone locally and respawning before reaching the first spawn point
Servers now support an external log script program to connect with optional admin rights
To enable log scripts, use command line parameter -scriptPort or set Script Server Port in the Connection Settings
Command Settings under Online Host Settings define what rights an external script has, can be an admin or just a message relay
Dedicated server files include an example Discord bot in config/Bots (Python script tsu_discord_bot.py, read it for details)
Admin command /broadcast now allows using some tags (pos, color, mspace and mark) to modify what the text looks like
Example: /broadcast This yellow text starts at position 200
Example: /broadcast Fixed length time with marker color: 45.454
Fixed skidmark issues when teleporting (or otherwise moving very much in one tick)
AI drivers no longer get stuck in the pit if fuel is on but refueling is not possible

Level Editor: Added Teleporter and Teleporter Exit objects - both can also be animated
Level Editor: Triggers can now be added as animated, too - they can then also be trigger targets themselves
Level Editor: Animated triggers can also have disabled keyframes, allowing triggers to enable or disable other triggers

Level Editor: Added support for loading up to 20 custom 3D meshes per level, (Wavefront OBJ, max 250 triangles), static only
Level Editor: Multiround events can now be tested alone in the editor (if enabled in the test event settings)
AI drivers now take a bit more fuel than before (with random variation) - underestimating fuel usage is less probable
AI drivers now have more random variation in the number of stops in their initial strategy
AI settings now allow enabling pit strategy debug and tuning initial strategy stint lengths and random variation
AI Editor: When Pit Testing is set to custom, strategy debug is automatically on and stint properties can be changed
AI drivers now follow paths slightly better (very small difference, old campaigns with AI drivers not affected)
Fixed active triggers sometimes shown as inactive when joining or reconnecting an ongoing game
