I didn't really have time to update this thread yet but i guess better late than never
3701 has been released

gonna update the OP with other stuff that is in the patch

will create a new ongoing development thread for the next patch

edit: regarding the target prio - since this was a hotfix patch we didn't have time to look out for the target prio changes
strogo redid his PR on this so i'm confident that we'll merge it in the near future

afaik it doesn't
i just didn't have time to look at it myself so far
i will have some free time in the next few weeks so i assume that the weapon priority PR from strogo will make it into the next patch

thanks for the info. I've been very interested in weapon priority on the fly by strogo. does anyone know if this feature will be implemented in the next patch or whether it requires more preparation?

Hello Commanders!

We recently shipped the 3699 patch (and a hotfix shortly after).

That means that we can start working on the next patch!

We already have a few new open pull requests - some of which may need a bit more work or someone to test/proofread.

This Thread is here to document Pull Requests that have been merged to allow everyone to give us feedback/playtest stuff by playing the FAF Develop game mode in the FAF client.

Current list of changes:

Relocate versionnr - this change puts the game patch number in the game lobby in a spot where it's more visible. It also allows you to open the changelog window (the one you see when you play a new patch for the first time) by clicking on it. The patchlog window also has a new button which allows you to open the entire changelog on github in your default browser.
Changed Novax Sat fix in order to not potentially break mods
Fixed a bug related to (upgrading) Kennels
Updated mod blacklist (added 2 mods that are redundant due to the projectile collision changes in 3699)
Removed smoke effect on the water surface caused by wrecks on the bottom of the ocean
Moved current patch number in the lobby to a more visible location
Allow Users to open the Changelog by clicking on the patch number in the game lobby
Allow Users to open the changelog on github by adding a button to the changelog popup in the lobby

A list of merged PRs can be found here.

I would greatly appreciate feedback concerning the upcoming changes.
Please keep in mind that game patches are for fixes/enhancements of the game and NOT for balance changes. Some of the changes made may affect balance due to the nature of them but we also try to work as closely as possible with the balance team to get feedback/permission to certain changes.

Best Regards,
PhilipJFry

edit:
added some additional PRs to the list (all but the 1st one basically)
3701 has been released!
Feel free to make comments on the changes that this patch has brought to you!
