Modding
Mod System:
Mods which overwrite core game assets have usually crashed the game
unless the game is restarted once. Now a mod can specify this to force
the game to restart when the mod is loaded.
Mods can now specify an arbitrary save slot instead of using slots 1-4.
This is useful for 'game mode' mods which don't sit nicely on top of an
existing Don't Starve save.
Assets:
Road textures can now be overwritten by a mod.
World Gen:
Can now specify the range of background nodes to generate for each node
in the level definition.
Tasks with blockers can now specify what their "blank" nodes are in case
you don't want it to be ocean.
Tasks have a little more control over internal connectedness by
specifying a custom crosslink factor for rooms, and whether or not the
rooms are generated in a loop.
Development:
AddGameDebugKey and AddGlobalDebugKey are now global functions, so mods
can utilise them for testing.
Better logging when animations and builds are missing.
Sublime Text, a great script editor, is now packaged with the mod tools
Use this when working with Lua files for syntax highlighting,
multi-file search, and other handy editing tricks.

Fix bug with water faucet in screecher

fix for modindex crash when you have an invalid mod
fix for crash in follower.lua

Thanks and have a nice day :)
