Development Update June 2023

Greetings Adventurers!

This month has focused on preparing the modules for version 11 of Foundry. My aim is to support both v10 and v11 for some time.

v11 has now been released, but you should hold on a little bit before updating just yet! 

Some of the core modules that many of the effects generated by DDB Importer are currently incompatible (primarily Convenient Effects), and there are a couple of bugs in v11 itself, which cause additional problems when updating compendium actors.

Pathmuncher also received a bunch of new features this week thanks to the enrichment of the data at Pathbuilders end.

Thank you for your continued support, it means a lot to me
