This release contains a major step forwards in graphics capabilities, thanks to Aditiya Afrizal- Shadow effects.

Shadow effects may currently be controlled globally through a new options page. Please note that results will vary, depending on the way any given route has been constructed, and the lighting setup it uses.

Significant Changes:

• Change: Further improvements to coupler collision logic.
• Change: Update Debian package dependancies to handle new unified Mono package.
• Change: Use a more specific error message when a rooted path is supplied in place of a relative one.
• Change: Improve handling of PNG files with an unused and invalid TRNS chunk.
• Change: Improve layout of options pages. (Aditiya Afrizal)
• Fix: Infinite loop if an empty $Include file was encountered (introduced in 1.13.0.3)
• Fix: Possible crash when attempting to transform objects which do not conform to 4 vertex counts.
• Fix: Handle X files which specify invalid colours.
• Fix: Make light directions in dynamic lighting XML consistant with routefiles. (Aditiya Afrizal)
• Fix: Deform for some roofs / cracks broken in v1.13.0.0 (Aditiya Afrizal)
• Fix: Logic issue in TFO parser.
• BVE5: Various improvements to route parser ( https://github.com/leezer3/OpenBVE/pull/1325 )
• BVE5: Fix routefiles in which the first encountered route command is one which does not take a distance.
• BVE5: The specified rail for repeaters should be case invariant.
• Hacks: Fix issues with certain walls / dikes with Minobu route.
