Clarification for Modders regarding the upcoming DLC

[JPLRepo]

To clarify this for modders.
KSP 1.4.0 has been released as we know....

KSP 1.4.1 is a base game update that will be released simultaneously with the DLC.
The DLC is an add-on that requires KSP 1.4.1. But the base game will be updated to 1.4.1 at that time.

A modder should think of it like this... there's 1.4.0 this week. When the DLC releases there is an update to KSP to 1.4.1.
Whether a modder's mod cares about the DLC or not... is up to them. But it will run regardless of the DLC being installed or not if the mod doesn't involve anything to do with the DLC functionality.
It will also run in either KSP 1.4.0 or KSP 1.4.1 depending on what the mod code does, and if it requires changes between 1.4.0 and 1.4.1.
The code base between 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 will not be very different.

Will the IVA for the Mk1-3 Command Pod be included in 1.4.1?

It's already in the early-access media streamer versions I've been watching on Twitch this weekend

Yep, looks interesting. Has the three kerbals sitting besides each other, closer to Apollo.

It's a small change.... but there is no upgrade Patch. I'll wait.
