Hello airport CEOs!
We're back with another default update to the Alpha 29 series. We're hearing you loud and clear and as discussed in the previous dev blog this update contains a very important fix for the max CPU load issue which also ended up giving us a pretty notable performance boost in the end!
This update also contains several important fixes for remote stands and more remote stand bug fixes are to follow for the experimental branch for the remainder of this week as we'll be targeting this area making sure it'll work as expected in a very near future.
Below is the full change log between the previous default version Alpha 29.6-8 and the new default version Alpha 29.9-2 (including bugs that were fixed a long the way on the experimental branch).
