For KSP 1.12.5, 1 February 2023
ATTENTION PLAYERS: MAS includes a Module Manager patch that replaces all of the stock RPM props with MAS-enabled props. If, for some reason, you do not want your RPM IVAs upgraded, you will need to rename GameData/MOARdV/Patches/JsiToMasUpgrade.cfg to JsiToMasUpgrade.nocfg.
NOTE: A partial ASET Avionics and ASET Props upgrade patch is included, but disabled. To try it, please rename GameData/MOARdV/Patches/AsetToMasUpgrade.nocfg to GameData/MOARdV/Patches/AsetToMasUpgrade.cfg. Currently, you will need RasterPropMonitor installed to enable any props that are not already updated. There are no guarantees that partially-updated IVAs will work perfectly.

Issue #181. - The kOS Terminal prop has been ported to MAS. All keys are functional. To customize your own prop using that model, take a look at the config in MOARdV/MAS_ASET/kOSTerminal.
- Divide-by-zero errors caused by some variables being used too soon have been fixed. Issue #182.
- Issue detecting custom tracked resource converters has been resolved.
- The ROLLING_DIGIT can be used to simulate a mechanical odometer on a MASMonitor display. Very old Issue #3.

- LINE_STRING segments occasionally appear as bowties. In addition, the texture UV pattern repeats at a different rate on line segments that are a different length. Both of these are Unity issues. NOTE: The Unity update should have fixed this issue. It has not been verified.
- MAS uses its own maneuver planner (accessible from the MFD2 PLAN page) as well as its own Maneuver Autopilot (accessible from the MFD2 PLAN and MFD2 MNVR pages). These may be buggy, but I would like feedback on both. If you prefer using MechJeb to plan or to execute maneuvers, it is still accessible from the MechJeb control panel (in the lower-central portion of the MRK-DM IVA).
- MFD2 (the modern MAS MFD design) now has an operations guide on the wiki. This is still a work-in-progress.
- MFD2's maneuver control pages now use the (still experimental) MAS Maneuver Autopilot (see New Features, below). MechJeb is no longer required to execute maneuver nodes automatically.
- The ASET_HUD has been imported to MAS (prop name MAS_ASET_HUD). This prop requires ASET Avionics to be installed.
- MFD1's engine status page no longer throws an error due to a function name changing in a previous MAS version.
- -force-glcore on Windows no longer causes textures, the nav ball, and most other MFD components to disappear. Issue #168.

- The INT_LIGHT component may now control the color and intensity of interior lights in addition to switching them on or off. Issue #164.
- MAS's FixedUpdate processing overhead has been reduced. Local testing has shown about a 20% reduction in time spent updating variables. This change may help lower-spec computers. Issue #166.
For KSP 1.4.0 - KSP 1.4.3, 24 May 2018.
- MAS supports localization in the KSP GUI! If you are able to provide translations, please take a look at the localization file. Currently supported languages are en-us.
- CAMERA nodes display artifacts when the Scatterer mod is installed.
- Docking / undocking occasionally causes the MAS system to become unresponsive. Changing scenes or switching to an unloaded vessel will reset it.
- LINE_STRING segments occasionally appear as bowties. In addition, the texture UV pattern repeats at a different rate on line segments that are a different length. Both of these are Unity issues. NOTE: The Unity update should have fixed this issue. It has not been verified.
- The closest approach computations should be more stable, and the solver should behave better with targets orbiting other bodies. Issue #101.
- Temperature queries always return 0 if there are no applicable components (for instance,
fc.HottestEngineTemperature()will return 0 if there are no engines). Previously, these values returned 0 for Kelvin, or -273.15 for Celsius. - LINE_GRAPH functionality has been restored.
- MAS Radio Navigation Beacons are no longer added to the custom waypoints database by default. Instead, the player must opt-in from the MAS Settings dialog in the Space Center scene. Issue #161.

parachute.Available()has been renamed toparachute.RealChuteAvailable()to make it clear that it's specific to whether RealChute is installed.- The Prop Config tool is now available for MAS. This tool allows for the automation of prop configuration. Issue #135.
- Many of the prop configs in MAS_ASET have been processed by the Prop Config tool. In most cases, this will have no effect on an IVA. However, a small number of nearly-identical props were removed, a few had stylistic changes, and some have new names. In particular, the original MFD1 mode buttons have been removed. You are recommended to delete the MAS_ASET directory and overwrite it when updating.
- Error reporting for incorrect parameters is improved. Instead of a NullReferenceException, MAS will tell you that a parameter did not match what MAS expected, and it will tell you the variable that it was evaluating. Issue #155.
- Multiple VERTICAL_BAR texture and position errors have been fixed. Issue #123.
- The FoV marker for the MASCamera has been fixed so that it updates for animated cameras. Issue #133.

- MASCameraMount is a new part module that controls a pan transform and tilt transform on a camera's part. This allows for the part to move as the camera is panned or tilted. NOTE: This functionality was previously part of MASCamera (
panTransformNameandtiltTransformName), so any cameras including those fields need to updated to add the new MASCameraMount module. Issue #133. engine.GetCoreThrottle(engineId),engine.GetAfterburningThrottle(engineId),engine.GetCurrentJetTemperature(engineId, useKelvin), andengine.GetMaxJetTemperature(engineId, useKelvin)(see) report the core throttle and afterburning throttle positions and the current and maximum temperatures for Advanced Jet Engines jet engines (ModuleEnginesAJEJet).
