v2.9.1

A tiny update that forces Custom mode to always be available.

The requirement for unlocking Custom mode, playing a daily, wasn't being flagged correctly while using mods. This update just forces Custom mode to always be unlocked while playing with mods.

• Allow Prefix patches to skip the original method
• Allow Insert patches to skip the remainder of the original method
• Method for mods to check if another mod is loaded

v2.8.0

A small backend release mainly for the benefit of mod developers. Makes it possible for mod developers to add new fields to existing classes in the game.

Patch Notes:

v2.7.0

This release fixes compatibility with Weekly Patch 29 along with some features, namely checking for mod updates for mods that want it.
Do note, unless a mod has been setup for update checking ModTheSpire will not check for updates for it. Just because ModTheSpire says none of your mods have updates, doesn't mean some of them don't have updates.

Patch Notes:

• Mod update checker (test447/kiooeht)
• Fix for week 29
• Make Play button default for keyboard use
• Warning banner if using beta branch of StS
• Option for modders to dump patched JAR for inspection (test447)
• Format logs nicer (test447)
• Make constants for patching constructors and static initializers
