 # Core changes
 
+## Misc
+- Window name is now set to `Cosmonarchy` (c. Jesse)
+- Window icon now uses Cosmonarchy's logo (c. Jesse)
+
+## Main menu
+- An options menu has been added to the main menu, courtesy of Jesse!
+	- This menu currently allows modifying many config options.
+	- *More options, including default game options, will be added eventually!*
+
 ## 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)
+	- Fixed an occasional issue with "go to max range" attacks, further resolving UB
-		- *Not all desyncs have been eliminated, but you should see a significant reduction, especially in games not featuring Askosi!*
+	- Properly fixed a rare CPU fleeing issue that caused crashes (r. iliektoeatgrass, c. DarkenedFantasies)
-		- *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:**
-	- Terran and Askosi workers can no longer increment construction attempts remotely (r. HonMonO & Kenoli)
+	- **Bulwark**s can no longer proc Astral Splendor while being salvaged
-	- **Magister** Stellar Enforcement timer now refreshes on attack (r. Kenoli)
+- **Audiovisuals:**
-	- **Cikralisk**s can now attack from garrisons (r. Kenoli)
+	- Fixed error printouts when salvaging on **Nexus**, **Pylon**, and **Bulwark** with the **Dyad** (r. Slav)
-	- Askosi workers can no longer work on Terran structures (r. Kenoli)
-	- Askosi workers no longer ignore right-click commands on completed structures (r. Kenoli)
