• *New: Weekly-Challenges (Only available in local lobbies or online time-mode-lobbies) and will be displayed in the highscores

• *New: force-https and force-http command line parameters
• *New: “choo-choo”-sound when dashing the engine
• *New: The last checkpoint will appear as AUTOSAVE in the savegame-open-dialog and will not be deleted when opening it to make the checkpoint system less frustrating in case one forgot to save the last checkpoint explicitly
• *New: Czech translation added ( thanks to @SněžnýPerník from Discord )
• *Improvement: Replay sample rate decreasing when the replay is large enough (this should hopefully fix the not complete world record run replays in the future)

• *Improvement: Update to SDL 2.0.14

• *Bug fix: The lava-blob might ignite the train eventhough the blob was already extinguished by a client in online sessions
• *Bug fix: The bot can teleport commodities in its hand when not being able to reach its destination
• *Bug fix: The bot is sometimes in a temporary pick/place loop eventhough it could pick up rails when being in the fill-box-state
• *Bug fix: Ping speech-bubble did not get destroyed when the player went to remove input
• *Bug fix: The bot could redirect the tracks when the tracks were already connected to the station (always leading to a train crash)
• *Bug fix: When using split controller and the controller disconnects and reconnects, the game did not correctly recognize the mapping anymore
• *Bug fix: When saving and loading the game with a milk-wagon, the milk in the wagon did not have any perks anymore (only fixed for savegames created with this or a newer version)
