Alpha 10.9.9 changes (2018-12-30)
- Ability to drag selection to rectangle to select employees, furniture and parking spaces (using multi select will filter by current selection)
- Employee walk paths are now drawn when selected
- Select building now includes roof in selection
- Improved how game generates nav and build mesh boundaries for modded furniture when using AutoBounds. Specifically sets minimum width and height for nav mesh and converts build mesh to a line if very thin. This should fix bugs with cubicles, if updated by author (If you are re-using the vanilla cubicle settings, leaving out nav and build boundary from the XML would be the best solution)
Fixes
- Fixed bug causing AI companies to sometimes heavily underestimate physical sales and not order enough copies
- Fixed room textures getting purged on Linux when changing resolution (would cause rooms to be black)
- Fixed snow and rain sticking to screen
- Fixed options window spawning new controls every time it was opened
- Fixed FURNITURE_DEBUG lines not being see-through
- Fixed path to log on Linux sometimes not working
Alpha 10.9.8 is officially out with reported bugs fixed.
Alpha 10.9.7 adds a new grid manipulation gizmo(2018-12-12)
(You can toggle the old grid manipulation panel in the options menu, if you prefer)
Alpha 10.9.6 changes (2018-12-10)
- Objects are now highlighted when cursor is hovering over them, to make selection more intuitive
- Ability to bind duplicate furniture key
- Reduced complexity of windows and doors during mini map generation when necessary to avoid hitting mesh vertex limit, because some of you managed to add at least 2730 exterior windows and doors in one save!
Alpha 10.9.5 fixes bugs in the Market recognition drop-down and column filtering.
Alpha 10.9.4 changes (2018-12-08)
- Furniture builder will now try to keep furniture inside room boundary instead of just giving up placement
- Ability to transfer IP to relevant subsidiary using trade button
- Specializations picked for HR now affects education choice
- Roof points can snap to grid
- Fixed some localization pluralizations
- Added inline functions to localization system, currently only includes Vowel, Plural, FirstOrCount function
- Market simulation now ignores in-house products when determining current highest tech level on market
- Shift click a work filter toggle to isolate it
- Better handling of error when generated mesh has too many vertices
- Improved feedback window message box
- Added salary NaN check to avoid game corruption and hopefully locate source of bug
- Fixed software type and category dropdown localization
- Overhauled options window
- Ability to set multi-placement as default mode
- Ability to disable rain, snow, thunder and lightning
- Added dynamic colorization to popup messages and message boxes
- Fixed window dragging and max size when UI is scaled
Alpha 10.9.3 changes (2018-11-16) <-- last official release

Alpha 10.9.2 is out officially. The only change from 10.9.1 is that the furniture replace window has been fixed.
This update mainly contains bug fixes and optimizations. Notably, I've updated to Unity 5.6 from 5.5 to try and mitigate several crash issues.
Work on Alpha 11 is still ongoing, but it is still in the design phase. Alpha 11 will be the final iteration of the development mechanic, so I want to make sure I don't make any big mistakes.
Changes
- Move to Unity 5.6
- Added syntax highlighting to mod source code reader
- Hold R while placing furniture to randomly rotate based on current angle snap
- Ability to control camera with touch using 2 fingers (Only tested on an MS Surface (which does not meet minimum requirements FYI))
Fixes
- Saves broken by having the start options mod installed and upgrading to alpha 10.8 without installing the updated mod will now have their difficulty setting clamped on load, if it is out of range
- Undoing deletion of rooms in basement could break game
- The previous bug could break saves such that altering rooms in the basement and ground floor would behave weirdly. A process to fix save files during load has been added, but might not work in all cases
- People no longer talk to themselves in empty meetings...
- Mod source code reader would break on long source files
- Various other fixes
Optimizations
- Optimized drop-down list handling
- Random optimization work in market simulation and main game loop
