Happy new year, Wardens! 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. It can be collected from the Sanctum hub after completing that fight.Note that this CD is factored into 100% completion, so completed save files will need to collect the CD from the Sanctum hub in order to retain their com
