v2.4.0

This release adds support for clothing propertyType override used for societies in CK2 2.7

• Support for clothing propertyType override, replacing sprites used by culture-indexed layers (c0->c5)
• Support for a variable number of properties, with dynamic creation of characteristic combo-boxes in the UI #1
• Improve error reporting when parsing portraits.gfx when parsing string into integer or byte
• Allow non-ordered flags in propertyType layers

• Add dropdowns for head (p2), d5 and d10 characteristics, in case used by mods
• Disable dropdown if sprite has only 1 frame (e.g. p2)

v2.2.0

This release adds governments support, as well as file watchers on mod files.

UI:

• Add government dropdown
• Add some tooltips to UI controls

Engine:

• Implement override logic for religious and merchant special sprites

• Add some safeties to .mod file parsing
• Add unhandled exceptions handlers in application

Code re-factoring:

• Support rendering from multiple mods
• Parse vanilla/DLCs/mods portrait data only once during startup
• Avoid unzipping DLCs at startup if not needed (use Reload button to force refresh)

• Fix bug were duplicate portraitType definition would not override previous one (byzantinegfx)
• Fix load order of assets that was using vanilla instead of mod
• Optimize memory usage, by unloading assets when reloading/unchecking content
