[Development] [1.4.0] Biggest update yet & patch notes.
We've finally landed for real, and this is our biggest update yet, realizing many feature requests by our users, as well as personal goals on our end. With this we consider Island Zero essentially a finished website, with mere maintenance and small fixes to keep working on, lest we get new, good, ideas from our community; there is also a roadmap at the end of this post of remaining updates which we will get to at our leisure, but making public, in the spirit of making development of this website more transparent.
These are the patch notes. Keep new requests and ideas to their own threads.
