-### 1.5.24 (20160)
+### 1.5.24 (20161)
- Upgraded Python from version 3.7 to 3.8. This is a substantial change (though nothing like the previous update from 2.7 to 3.7) so please holler if anything is broken. These updates will happen once every year or two now..
- Windows debug builds now use Python debug libraries. This should hopefully catch more errors that would otherwise go undetected and potentially cause crashes.
- Switched windows builds to use 'fast' mode math instead of 'strict'. This should make the game run more efficiently (similar modes are already in use on other platforms) but holler if any odd breakage happens such as things falling through floors (more often than the occasional random fluke-y case that happens now).
+- Added _ba.can_display_full_unicode() for any code that wants to avoid printing things that won't show up locally.
### 1.5.23 (20146)
- Fixed the shebang line in `bombsquad_server` file by using `-S` flag for `/usr/bin/env`.

This page documents the Python classes and functions in the 'ba' module,
which are the ones most relevant to modding in Ballistica. If you come across something you feel should be included here or could be better explained, please let me know. Happy modding!
