 # Core changes
 
 ## Bugfixes
+- **Stability:**
+	- Resolved all remaining floating point use cases, eliminating known causes of several desyncs (c. Veeq7, Pr0nogo, Jesse; b. Jesse, TheBeaver99, Neblime, BtyB, 3crow, Lucifirius, Doglived, IAMtheWHEATofGOD)
+		- *Not all desyncs have been eliminated, but you should see a significant reduction, especially in games not featuring Askosi!*
+		- *Many working systems may have been made buggy by this huge change. We need testing for that! Please help report crashes or buggy behavior.*
+		- *Huge shout-out to Veeq7 for being the primary workhorse of this change, and special thanks to Jesse who helped get the ball rolling. The donors are also greatly appreciated!*
+	- Prospectively fixed rare AI crash related to retreating some units (r. iliektoeatgrass, c. DarkenedFantasies)
+	- **Known issue:** Lakizilisk return spines behave improperly.
 - **Gameplay:**
-	- Added fallback alert for Askosi structure completion, when player's advisor is without an "assembly" alert (r. shopkeeper dog)
-- **Audiovisual:**
-	- Askosi workers now turn to face their construction project
-		- *Caveat: Workers may decollide, changing their intended facing angle*
+	- Terran and Askosi workers can no longer increment construction attempts remotely (r. HonMonO & Kenoli)
+	- **Magister** Stellar Enforcement timer now refreshes on attack (r. Kenoli)
+	- **Cikralisk**s can now attack from garrisons (r. Kenoli)
+	- Askosi workers can no longer work on Terran structures (r. Kenoli)
+	- Askosi workers no longer ignore right-click commands on completed structures (r. Kenoli)
