Changes
This page lists any significant updates made to the game from Version 5 onwards. Smaller changes and fixes which aren't enough to constitute an update, particularly if they are meant to fix or modify errors, typos, or inconsistencies with [[object lines]], will usually be listed in the [[Tsuchinoko (bot)|Tsuchinoko]] updates instead.
