We hope everyone has been having a good start to the year so far!Today's update adds an additional track to the Jukebox, adds a handful of fixes, and brings every other change from 1.24 onwards to the main branch.General:- An additional track has been added to the Jukebox, "Eleventh Hour", which is the music that plays before the Steel on Steel boss.
