== Changes ==
=== Improvements ===
* Upgraded Galaxy Textures.
* Add new flight UI mode that includes in-depth orbital information.
* Add advanced maneuver node editor, allowing player to edit maneuver nodes more precisely.
* Add an Altitude toggle function to the Altimeter. The altitude modes can be switched between AGL and ASL.
* Part Action Windows (PAW)s now generate scrollbars and keep themselves within the bounds of the screen when there is more data than will fit the screen.
* Automatic AGL/ASL toggle values when in orbit. The altimeter value is set as ASL while in orbit, the AGL/ASL setting is preserved.
* The altimeter AGL behaviour when underwater calculates the vessel altitude from the sea floor.
* Update Addons and Mods external site link from Main Menu.

=== Localization ===
* A localization tag is no longer displayed in the status section of the PAW of the Advanced Grabbing unit in the Asteroid Redirect Mission, Part 2 tutorial.
