CHANGELOG

0.2.1

  • Bump package, plugin, assembly, and client/server handshake versions to 0.2.1.
  • Retain the user-supplied icon and existing optional-client behavior.
  • Server and modded clients must update together; unmodded clients remain optional.

0.2.0

  • User-supplied hitching-post artwork for Thunderstore and the in-game build menu.

  • Server required; clients can join without this mod or its dependencies.

  • Posts use the vanilla wood_pole prefab with custom saved metadata.

  • Modded clients restore decorations, recipe/refunds, controls, and ropes locally.

  • Matching-version handshakes identify eligible animal/post simulators.

  • Animals pause under server ownership when no compatible simulator is nearby.

  • Harpoon holder acquires temporary ownership for native harpoon state and harmless attachment.

  • Saved 0.1.0 posts convert on server load. Back up first; do not downgrade converted worlds.

  • Ownership tests, patch-binding checks, package/assembly version and ZIP binary validation added.

0.1.0

  • Initial test build requiring all clients to install the mod.
  • Fine wood/bronze nails post, harpoon transfer, five-meter ropes, multiple animals, release interaction.
  • Runtime eligibility, saved attachments, growth transfer, and ward checks.
