Good afternoon, airport CEO! We hope you're doing well on those hot summer tarmacs. Today we're releasing version 1.0-27 with just two minor but still important new features. In a response to some feedback we've been reading across the different ACEO platforms, conveyor belts can now be built on the lower floors without the need of having acquired the multi-floor permit first. This is in response to some valid criticism on the challenges of starting out constructing that first conveyor belt system and we couldn't agree more as this change will now make that starting phase a bit more frictionless. We've also implemented the ability to change the color of the mouse pointer as that default yellow can be a bit difficult to interact with for some users.
