Key changes include:

• New store compatibility additions - donating is super quick and easy now.
• New vehicle, map and other content additions.
• Heavy optimisation for a multitude of things, including passive mode which can now support higher-density areas.

- Fixed a parsing error which resulted in *some* false positives with automatic chat and name moderation.
- Fixed a bug which caused players to get dropped from the server for a communication failure.
