Another Beta 11 update! This one is even more simply focused on fixes and stability, including addressing a long-standing multithreaded logging issue that could theoretically cause CTDs, but only recently started to rear its head, so I spent some hours rewriting the logging architecture to get around that.
The primary version number isn't increasing here--still 11.1, since saves are compatible. I was going to add a few extra things, but decided keeping saves compatible would help make this version an even smoother upgrade.

My last weeks were occupied by a lot of 7DRL stuff, so now that that's in the past, I'll be moving on to the next big things (for which I've intermittently been working on plans for, but letting those stew for a bit). Among the supplemental roadmap options, "Revisit garrison interiors" received the largest number of patron votes, so we'll be starting with that, adding new garrison layouts as well as a chance to encounter random events within, plus other updates like a new RIF ability!
