Is there any reason to upgrade from 1.0.3?

[Starhawk]

The title pretty much says it all.

I've been playing 1.0.3 since it dropped. Didn't see any reason to upgrade when 1.0.4 was released.

Am I missing something?

Happy landings!

Just some fixes, see release notes. Also, 4 is better than 3 because it's bigger

I remember reading the release notes at the time. IIRC it was just a hotfix to stop heat shields from exploding when loading saves from earlier versions.

Yes, it's pretty much identical to 1.03 except for a bugfix for some compatibility problems with 1.02 save files.

The heatshields got a second attachment point (that helpfully gets rid of the ugly fairing they came with) in 1.03 that as mentioned broke some saves - the fix fixes this.

BTW, was the fix for science lab exploit of attaching it to an airliner full of scientist a thing of 1.0.3 or .4?

I believe that was in 1.0.3.

I would update just so mods don't complain you're using the wrong version.

Is there a reason not to? No.

Umm... There were more bugs in 1.0.4 then 3. I'm stuck in 1.0.2

1.0.4 just fixed the issue with adding new attachment nodes to parts causing existing vessels in saves to stop working. This specifically was related to the heat shields, as someone pointed out above.

However, as a modder, I'm assuming people are going to be using 1.0.4, and have set that as the minimum in my new releases, and am ADDING NODES to some parts. That means if you have some of my existing mod parts in your saves, and you upgrade the mod, but are still using 1.0.3 or earlier, you might run into the same problem that the stock game was causing with the heat shields.

So I think it's worth upgrading just so that any mods you're using won't also break your saves.

Yeah, this is actually the one reason I had actually considered. I recently went and found your post on the top 10 mods you can't live without and installed them. There are a couple of complaints every time I start the game. Wow, do those mods ever add a lot to the game experience!

That is an excellent reason! You've convinced me.

Thanks Necro.
