 # Core changes
 
+## Misc
+- Window name is now set to `Cosmonarchy` (c. Jesse)
+- Window icon now uses Cosmonarchy's logo (c. Jesse)

 ## Bugfixes

-		- *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!*
