Need a check of settings (or did Dev changed something?)

[Jestersage]

In 1.1.3, I am constantly concerned about my shuttles/spaceplane re-entry, as there's always a chance it will overheat and explode.

In 1.2, using the same design and same entry AP-Pe levels, I ended up coasting to the runway (or short of it -- targeting is never my strength) I have double checked on the re-entry heat, and it's still the default value of 100%

Are there other values that may affect it in the settings, or did the Devs changed something?

Pointy things are less draggy, blunt thing are more.

Most of the heat bars are turned off by default now -- try hitting F10 and you may be concerned again. As Foxster said, some drag calculations were modified, which changes heating. The SAS system is more efficient now, and produces less drag, which can affect heating. And there were hundreds of little bugfixes, which may have impacted aero physics to a small extent.
