Major Update 0.5 Changelog
Major Changes
- It is now possible to Respec Characters. Newly recruited companions will immediately open the respec panel, so that they can be customized after joining the party, but the respec feature is also accessible by going talking to Innkeepers.

- Added a lot of information on the world's map, and it's now possible to see more details about settlements, locations, and parties.
- Added a button to wait for some time while inside locations. It can be used to wait until the morning so that NPCs will wake up, or to wait until midnight to ambush an enemy camp.
