Version 0.23.0 (534) release notes
HELLO, everybody! This release focuses more on bug fixes and small improvements than usual, and it doesn't contain the portrait-shaped windows and scalable navigator window I talked about in the 0.22.0 release notes.
The reason for this is that our UI designer Onomatopoet is working with the developers to both drastically improve and future-proof the Modern client's UI (they recently tweeted about this). It's a big job with a lot of rebuilding from the ground up, but it's something that we're confident will make your experience of the Modern client much better.
Going forward, we've also decided to merge 'Up Next' stuff into 'Future Stuff' in release notes we publish. We're doing this because sometimes the scope of the release might need to change, as it did with this one.
OUT NOW:
- 'Tent' furni runtime implemented.
- UI improvements to the left side submenu (where you access your profile, looks editor, etc).
FUTURE STUFF:
- Scalable earnings, navigator, shop and looks windows.
- Chat bubbles improvement 2.0 (selectable bubble sizes).
- Improved visibility for navigator window categories.
- Portrait-shaped windows for improved desktop UX.
Full release notes:
- Furni with the 'tent' runtime now works in the Modern client.
- UI improvements to the left side submenu.
- Implemented a system to make it possible to use different styles of windows on different platforms. E.g. desktop would use a portrait style window for the inventory, while mobile would use the current landscape style window.
- Made it possible to handle all incoming friend requests in one action with a new button.
- Made it possible to remove a friend from the people window.
Performance improvements:
- Massive performance improvement with the floor plan editor, especially when using it in big rooms.
- Double and single clicking is now much more defined.
Localisation/text fixes:
- Fixed text/UI overlapping issue in the premium part of the Shop.
- Added missing text to the group creation window.
- Made it easier to see the number of a specific effect you have by changing the colour of the text.

Furni fixes:
- Rusty Van furni now rotates properly in Classic and Modern clients.
- Fixed issue with the insides of the recently released Romantic Vanlife furni not being visible.

People window fixes:
