The majority of us who play now do so through Steam. Through Steam the KSP launcher is skipped so all we see is the Steam news about it which still to this very moment is about the 1.2 launch. We are 100% in the dark about updates like this unless we go out of our way to come to a third party site. To steam players this update was 100% unannounced and it broke the majority of mods which in turn has made my save file non-playable. I'll make a local second copy from now on but I shouldn't have to do this. I have other games on steam that ask me if I want to update before doing so and Microsoft figured out that they needed an option to update before Windows 98 was released.
