The big Harmony release
Added 2018-05-20 18:54:42 +0000 UTCToday is the day. I have released Harmony v1.1. It was overdue.
Over the last couple of months, interest in Harmony has grown more than ever. New games like Stardust Valley or BattleTech create new communities around it and the pressure to finally release it was just too big.
So I decided to wrap it up and accept the minor problems that still persist. A complicated project like Harmony that pushes technical boundaries will never be 'perfect'. New versions will follow.
The major factor in releasing it now was that the new Harmony breaks some functionality in older versions and since Harmony can easily be used in multiple versions across multple mods in the same game I had to come up with a plan how to solve this. The result is Harmony patching itself to upgrade all existing versions to the latest. It's a bold move but one that I was able to verify with one of my own, more popular mods for Rimworld. It was a rough start but after a few changes it seems to work great.
So here we are, new communities that can start with Harmony v1.1 fresh and without any backwards compatibility issues. I've got great feedback from the beta testing and there is lots of potential for improvement.

On a side note: Harmony has just passed 400 stars on GitHub. Amazing!
