Update 1.2 (12th October 2016)

Unity 5.4

Engine change from 5.2 to 5.4.0p4

Libraries and Packages

Implemented Text Mesh Pro, which basically vectorizes all of our fonts, making them look much better, especially at larger font sizes. Also has a lot of extra utility that we can leverage for various effects.
Upgraded Vectrosity to latest version.
Upgraded Vehicle Physics Pro to latest version.

Code cleanup

Heavily reduced garbage generation caused by foreach loops, Linq usage, and various other things.
Made sure that all of our singleton classes properly clean themselves up.
Optimized KerbalEVA.
Rewrote CrewManifest and related crew handling (roster, vessel crew list, etc).
Optimized PartModules.
Optimize latitude/longitude/altitude calls to often use a combined get-all method.
Fix how some enumerator interfaces are declared in classes.
Optimized waypoint site name generation to generate a lot less garbage with its string lists.
Many part modules now cache parts instead of polling the entire vessel multiple times per frame.
Revised how most forces and torques are applied (see note on this subject below in Moddability).
Added DoubleCurve
ScenarioModules now awake and load during game load and so are valid in modules' OnStart.
Considerable work to Krakensbane and FloatingOrigin to improve precision and performance and lower garbage.
Various ISRU fixes and performance improvements.
Default KSPEvents and KSPActions to being nonpersistent in terms of state. This means all their fields won't be serialized/deserialized to and from the save game files.
Now always use g0 = 9.80665 and G (big G) = 6.67408e-11 for gravitational constants.

Flow Overhaul

Rewrote resource flow entirely. Now just four flow modes. Can set per-tank priority for all but AllVessel and NoFlow. Surface crossfeed for rocket engines as well as jets. Fixed priority issues. Much faster. PartResources no longer MonoBehaviours. Can set crossfeed per attach node. Electric Charge now uses STAGE_PRI so can be prioritized. Resource transfer in flight can be set to require valid crossfeed for those resources which obey crossfeed. With Advanced Tweakables on, can see flow graph in VAB/SPH (right-click on a part).

SAS

Fixed SAS unlocking for all ships in physics range when maneuvering the ship in focus.
The code for the older “Stability Assist” and somewhat newer “Pilot Steering” modes has been unified.
SAS now dynamically adjusts for the vessel’s mass properties and available control authority.
SAS uses a “stability decay” method to reduce oscillations (or twitching) when very near the target orientation.
Pilot Steering modes now include a “coast” and “stop” mode when transitioning between steering points.

Wheels

WheelColliders are now properly handled by collision manager, and no longer require the wheel "blocking" workaround to clip into other parts.
Fix hill "sticking" force overcompensating, resulting in a not so slow drift uphill when parked on one with wheels or legs.
Wheel deployment modules now search along the animation timeline upon retraction for the time closest to where the wheel suspension is located, instead of starting from 100%. This fixes the hop when retracting landing legs.
Added tweakable that allows player to specify whether his wheels deploy while shielded in a cargo bay.
Fix landing legs being exported to the wrong collision layer.
Wheel gravity is now properly handled in a standard manner, which should fix a good deal of instability.
Fix EVA kerbals blowing up wheels on contact. They now go through them.
Fixed landing legs teleporting from a semi-deployed state to a semi-retracted state when retracted.
Wheel damage does not process damage for two seconds after a vessel loads, prevents spontaneous explosions.
Suspension colliders are no longer disabled for 0.5 seconds upon retract, causing them to fall through the ground momenarily, blowing up your engines.
Deployable landing gear and legs now have deployment sounds.

Communications Networks

Additional functionality and gameplay components to the Antenna and Probe parts through a series of distinct but related mechanics. When CommNet is enabled, probes will require a connection back to Kerbin or to a control point to have full control, and crewed vessels lacking pilots will have slightly limited control without such a connection. Relays can extend the range of such connections and bounce signals around planets and moons that would otherwise occlude. Science transmission receives a bonus for high signal strength. New antenna parts allow building complex networks, which can be visualized in map view. See KSPedia for more details.

KerbNet

Added KerbNet, which allows the player to see terrain under their satellite, and place custom waypoints with a targeting interface. Allows the player to see biomes and anomalies at higher levels. Scan field of view for KerbNet varies by part and smoothly changes between surface altitude and orbital altitude.
KerbNet allows all probes and labs manned by a scientist to map as long as they have a communications network connection that eventually bounces to Kerbin.
Gave KerbNet visibility modes to hide some of the interface around the map.
Gave KerbNet auto-refresh settings to allow it to refresh without player intervention.
Gave KerbNet enhanced mode, which activates on some vessels such as rovers to give them better sensors in certain situations.
Add game option that allows KerbNet to either orient to the orbit normal, preventing flipping when passing over the poles, or to orient to north, which is less disorienting for some players.
Many aspects of KerbNet given flavor and fluff. Scanning a sun results in yellow and white noise, scanning a gas giant is similar except hued based on that planet. Stars and scan static can appear in the background past the horizon of a scan.
Resources can specify a scientific abbreviation. Utilized in KerbNet for the mode icon.

Debug Window

Completely overhauled the debug window to utilize new Unity GUI.
New debug console has syntax highlighting that highlights classes with persistent pastel colors if they bracket their names. [Bracket] your class names in debug logs modders.
New debug console has command input support which is moddable, type /help for a full listing of commands, and what they do.
Added new debug screen for creating kerbals with specific names, genders, skills, levels, and classes.
Debug options for displaying errors/exceptions as screen messages.
Added set orbit debug cheat screen.
Added rendezvous controls to set orbit debug cheat screen.

Orbits

All anomalies (ObT, mean anomaly, eccentric anomaly, true anomaly) are now consistently negative when approaching the periapsis for both elliptical and hyperbolic trajectories (previously, only hyperbolic trajectories used negative anomalies). This means that eccentric anomaly and true anomaly are now in the range -pi..pi instead of 0..2pi for elliptical trajectories.
Reference frames instead of quaternions are used for calculating orbital position and velocity, leading to increased speed when rendering patched conics.
Improved precision in orbit calculations.
Rewrote orbit targeting / closest approach finding.
Fixed issues where objects jump when going on and off rails.
Fix target orientation markers when the target is on rails.
Refactored such that orbital position and velocity and vessel position and velocity are correct for the FixedUpdate cycle.
Made target relative velocity work for celestial bodies.
Trajectories that re-encounter a body just escaped are now detected.
Trajectories that encounter two bodies now correctly show the first encounter even if it is further out (eg, Mun stealing a Minmus encounter).
Elliptical encounter trajectories no longer flicker.
Conic patch settings (draw mode and limit) are now exposed in the Video Settings.
Added game option for legacy orbit targeting.
Map node labels space themselves out nicely when cluttered.
Targeting info for moons in other SoIs now works.

Contracts

Contracts are now also weighted by celestial body, so if the player starts declining contracts to Jool, they will see them less often.
Contracts now keep track of if they have been viewed. There are three states: unseen, seen but not clicked, and clicked and read.
Contract weighting now applies negative weight if a contract has been viewed when it expires.
Exploration contracts now always appear in Mission Control if there is not one currently available.
Explore contracts overhauled, they now utilize the same logic World Firsts used to use to select a "package" of related objectives. They can appear multiple times per planet now, and should have a much more logical progression than they used to.
Exploration contract progression slowed slightly, now requires science on a planet before allowing a fly by of the next one. Also, in the early game, return from orbit and return from fly by are required before advancing on the Muns of the homeworld.
Removed old single objective World First contracts, other than the initial four.
Waypoint captions for survey contracts now state the altitude band of each waypoint.
Fix contract orbits not cleaning up properly when their contracts are cancelled as opposed to completed.
Grand tour contracts now require a new vessel to complete, so they cannot be cheesed by keeping one around that has seen every planet.
Fix contextual surveys not properly bouncing the navigation waypoint.
Asteroid recovery objective reworded and given a note for clarity.
Asteroid side objectives in facility construction contracts will now not appear unless the same requirements for asteroid recovery contracts to appear are met.
Crew transfer progress tracking objective reworded to make it clear that it does not need to utilize existing crew.
Reworded objective to hold above a waypoint in stationary orbit contracts for clarity.
If Kerbal G limits are enabled, tourists can either require going unconscious or require not going unconscious during the trip. Check the parameter details!
Adjusted Exploration contract flavor text to work better in multi-objective scenarios.

Biomes

Biomes for many bodies have been redesigned for clarity, beauty, and utility. And we've hidden a few extra surprises around as well!

Easter Eggs

Added hidden fun stuff to almost every planet.
Mohole given an empty PQSCity, which allows it to appear in KerbNet.
Gave many easter eggs colliders.
Fix Duna's SSTV not playing.
Unburied Duna's MSL.

Other Work

Advanced Tweakables option in Gameplay Settings. With it off, some advanced features are hidden. Defaults off.
Autostrutting available for all parts (AT).
Autostruts can be gated behind a technology in career and science mode defined in Physics.cfg, by default it is the same technology regular struts are on.
Add grandparent mode to auto-struts.
Parachutes can have automatic holding of deployment until safe (AT).
Actuation toggles now affect symmetry counterparts in editor (some other RCS/gimbal bits do too). Also hidden under Advanced Tweakables (AT).
Utilize HSV color space in more locations.
Quadrupled the amount of loading screen messages. You know, the important stuff.
Loads of new options in the difficulty settings.
Science data can be transferred by the part-part transfer mechanic (for certain probe cores).
Added physics easing for when landed/splashed vessels come off rails.
Certain probe cores (and the new science container part) can transfer data with no EVA required.
There is an additional drag curve whose function is to raise drag coefficient to a power based on the mach number. This leads to blunter things having (relatively) more drag supersonic than they did and pointier things having (relatively) less than they did. Pods will slow down better on steep reentries and planes will produce drag in better proportion to how streamlined they are (less overpowered airplane drag).
Fairings now include support for placing multiple payloads in them (and showing trusses for said payloads).
Tourist contracts work better with the Kerbal Gee Tolerance option.
Add a small negative contract weight for contracts that are read but not accepted.
Existing resource narrow band scanner ported to KerbNet interface, allowing it to zoom, among other things.
Removed biome readout information and flag rendering on narrow band scanner.
Added ellipsis to many text labels and fields, to prevent overflow while looking nice.
Input keys in the settings screen automatically expand with screen resolution.
Default parachute deployment mode set to "when safe" -players everywhere rejoice.
All tooltips cooked to a nice golden color.
Added Viewmatic Survey Satellite stock relay craft.
Added /b4d455 command, which starts a game off with basically everything.
Background ambiance in the space center scene now fades smoothly between birds by day and crickets by night.
Background ambiance in the space center scene now fades out when at max time warp.
Background ambiance in general no longer always starts at zero, it randomly seeks when the scene loads. Hence, loading a game no longer immediately plays the exact same bird trill.
Most stock planes given a look over based on player feedback.
Added editor part categories for ground, electrical, communication, thermal, payload, and coupling parts.
Screen message text given much higher visibility.
Facilities in the space center now have verbose context menus in sandbox mode, allowing you to see their upgrades. They always show the maximum level of upgrades.
"Require Complete" on antennae is now persistent and its state is saved.
Added community contest winner kerbal and unique waypoint names.
Camera can now be pointed at parts, not just vessel center of mass.
Added Plane and Relay vessel types/icons.
Airbrakes now have deployment limits.
Rebalance fairing panel mass downwards slightly.

Slight performance tweaks to some early 1.25m engines.
Swap around some early science parts in the tech tree.
Redid Eve's atmospheric pressure curve to smooth it out and remove errors. Eve's atmosphere thins out much faster now, so the high atmosphere is thinner. Also tweaked Jool's atmosphere so it rapidly goes from 15 atmospheres to 50 in the last few kilometers to achieve crushing pressures.
Can right-click on icons in the staging list to trigger the Part Action Window.
Support Rigid Attachment (non-bendy) option for part joints in cfg and in the PAW.

The runway lights now follow the day/night cycle.
Moved a low tech wheel to a lower tech tier.
Moved an atmospheric sensor down to the science tech branch.

Moddability

API Docs: https://kerbalspaceprogram.com/api/index.html

Added FlightGlobals.VesselsLoaded and FlightGlobals.VesselsUnloaded which lets us iterate over a specific portion of Vessels without checking the entire list.
Added onVesselPartCountChanged event, fires any time a part is added or removed, the moment it happens, unlike onVesselModified.
Added onVesselStandardModification event, collects various vessel events and fires them off with a single one. (onVesselPartCountChanged, onVesselModified, docked, undocked, et al)
Added onScreenResolutionModified event, fires when the screen resolution is modified.
Added many accessors/setters.
Vessel control level can be clamped to a field in Vessel (so can be restricted to Partial even if otherwise would be Full).
GetModuleMass/Cost methods can now be passed the situation.
Fix where kerbal mass (if set to nonzero) was not applied in the editor.
Added two new dictionary-related classes (DictionaryValueList and ListDictionary).
Celestial bodies now cache all of their PQS Cities.
All game root nodes now generate a random persistent seed, which is different from game to game.
All forces on valid parts except wheel forces are now done via Part.AddForce/Torque/AddForceAtPosition. Note that the forcemode used is Force; to use a different forcemode, convert the force to the correct amount. It is the job of the Flight Integrator to then apply all these forces to actual rigidbodies (rather than all the disparate modules' job).
Use mass-weighted average angular velocity of parts for vessel angular velocity.
ITorqueProvider now reports two Vector3s, positive torque (that produced by control actuation 1,1,1) and negative torque (that produced by -1,-1,-1).
Added various accessors.
Node definitions can take an extra digit after size, either 0 or 1: that sets whether the node can crossfeed. Defaults to 1 (yes). NODE definitions can take crossfeed = True/False
ModuleEngines now supports clampPropReceived = True. This will clamp the ratio of propellant requested based on prior results, so if IntakeAir is listed first and less than the full requirement is returned, it will request only that ratio of further propellants. In this case the "Prop Req Met" display will show the minimum requirement-met ratio rather than the average. Engines that use IntakeAir (or other cases like that) need to have clampPropReceived = True in each of their MODULEs that do that, and need to have that PROPELLANT first and the other PROPELLANTs later. See stock jet cfgs for examples.
Added another crew transfer event.
Added more startup options for KSPAddon
Allow kerbals to have/save/load arbitrary experience points.
ResearchAndDevelopment.GetTechnologyTitle(string id) will convert a tech ID to a tech title and is available as soon as parts start loading (can be used in GetInfo() ).
Support max pressure (dynamic + static), maxPressure, and max G, gTolerance, for parts.
Added system to allow mods to add custom difficulty settings.
Added CelestialBody.hasSurface so mods that add a PQSController to gas giant don't cause silly things such as "Plant a flag on Jool" contracts.
Replaced all checks for experience traits (Pilot, Scientist, Engineer) with individual experience effects. They are now loaded before part loading so can be queried in GetInfo().
Icons in TechTree.cfg can now use a relative path (allows mod icons to live outside the Squad directory).
Added KSPAssemblyDependencyEqualMajor as an attribute. Use instead of KSPAssemblyDependency if you want to force requiring the stated major version, not >= the major version, from your dependency.
If you are setting a vessel's position and/or changing its orbit, call Vessel.IgnoreGForces(framecount) on the vessel for the number of frames that g forces should be ignored (try 1, then 2 if that doesn't work, etc).
ModuleDeployablePart (covers antennas, solars, radiators) also has a gResistance (for Gs) as well as windResistance (for Q).
Crew transfer now derives from a generic abstract PartItemTransfer class. Classes can derive from it to implement any kind of (crew transfer-style) part-part transfer. Also we fire an event right before a crew transfer is created so mods can just kill it and easily create their own CrewTransfer-derived class and have that be called on that event.
Extended ModuleScienceContainer to allow sending and, (from ModuleScienceExperiment) receiving, experiment data. Also added support for a Collect All option to such containers.
ModuleColorChanger supports changing arbitrary shader colors and implements IScalarModule. ModuleAnimationSetter works similarly and is used to more directly link an animation to being set by IScalarModule.
PartModules now support upgrades. In a MODULE node, add an UPGRADE node. Inside that add one node per techID you wish to provide upgrades, in ascending order. Inside that place keys and nodes you wish to upgrade. e.g. UPGRADES { basicRocketry { maxThrust = 250 } } will change maxThrust to 250 once basicRocketry unlocks. Upgrades will never override persistent data. Further, by default they overwrite each other; to make a node apply on a clean slate (so you can, say, add two PROPELLANT nodes and not have them conflict due to the overwrite logic) set IsExclusiveUpgrade__ = True in the upgrade's node. That will clear the upgrade state and apply that upgrade fresh. Upgrades are applied only when you add a part to a craft in the VAB/SPH, they don't magically apply in flight. When a part on a craft is upgraded, a new option will appear in the PAW (when in VAB/SPH) where you can view the current stats of all those modules with upgrades.
ModuleEngines now supports alternate (RealFuels-style) throttling and rates.
ModuleEngines now supports throttle-Isp interactions. Turn on with useThrottleIspCurve = True and set the throttleIspCurve and throttleIspCurveAtmStrength curves. Final Isp = input Isp - Lerp(1, throttleIspCurve.Eval(throttle state), throttleIspCurveAtmStrength.Eval(atms of pressure))
Support part upgrades, see docs.
Added events dealing with kerbals going on/off ladders on parts and added a new vessel field for accessing the vessel of the part of the ladder the kerbal is climbing (if all of those are valid).
CelestialBody now has thermo/atmo stats methods so FlightIntegrator's temperature calcs can be called from anywhere / any mod.
Events that throw an exception now print the full stack trace.
PartModuleUtil.PrintResourceSI() is now just KSPUtil.PrintSI().
Add ModuleDragAreaModifier with field areaFactor. Note: this will also affect buoyancy and thermo.
Added ModuleHeatEffects and FXModuleThrottleEffects which can take any number of IScalarModules and are set by skin temp and throttle respectively.
AvailablePart.entryCost is now get-only and calls a static delegate so they can be
FindEngineNearby and FindEngineInterface are now PartModuleList methods instead of being duplicates in FXModuleAnimateThrottle and ModuleAlternator.
Many KerbalEVA, Kerbal, and KerbalExpressionSystem methods made virtual, and kerbal spawning in ProtoCrewMember and EVA spawning in FlightEVA made delegates.
Added IContractObjectiveModule, which allows mods to specify valid parts for contract objectives, rather than it being configuration based.
Waypoint captions on the map are now moddable.
Added game events for CommNet status changes both for the connection in general and the connection to KSC.
Added game event that fires when PQS starts, just before the sphere is started.
Added game event that fires when PQSCities start.
Added game event for orbital resource survey completion.
Added game event for vessel control state changing.
Orbit now has a constructor that clones another orbit.
Vessel now has a method to kill all parts in permanent ground contact (eg: launch clamps).
Added ModuleGenerator.isGroundFixture for launch clamps.
The "escape" progress milestone now uses standard World First award methods, which allows it to be disabled by mods properly.
Icon_Hidden tag now hides all children of the transform so tagged.
Add requiresFullControl to events, actions, and UI controls. If false, will work normally in full and partial control and refuse to work only with no control. If true, will work only with full control.
AssemblyLoader ignores abstract classes.
Support symbols in the font.
Made Kerbals and EVA kerbals more moddable. EVAs and the flag now have partial part cfgs which can be modded. All Kerbal and KerbalEVA methods are virtual and the FSM is opened up. New hooks added.
Made vessel load/unload/pack/unpack ranges changeable in Physics.cfg.
Support adding options to the game difficulty screen.
Vessel now has radarAltitude. Use it for min(altitude, heightFromTerrain)
add PartModule.OnIconCreate which runs just before the partmodule is stripped from the icon gameobject when the editor part icon is being created.
Particle systems can be registered with FloatingOrigin for handling origin/krakensbane offsetting natively.
ProtoPartResourceSnapshot no longer relies on strings, and its resourceValues node is now inaccessible. Instead, directly get / set the amount/maxAmount/flowState.
PartModules now come with a resHandler object (of type ModuleResourceHandler) for handling ModuleResource / RESOURCE nodes, so code need not be duplicated.
When a landed vessel goes off rails and is detected to be landed on parts, not the ground, it is offset up slightly, controlled by one static Vessel field HeightFromPartOffsetGlobal (default 0.5 meters) and one instance field heightFromPartOffsetLocal (default 0 meters). The vessel is offset upwards the sum of those two fields.
Fix OnVesselSwitching always sending a null reference, add OnVesselSwitchingUnloaded.
Allow reference to Kerbal's animator cache and renderer cache.
Add map toggle interface for mods.
OrbitTargeter opened up, delegate added for creating the on-click context menus so they can be modded.
Add delegates so KB apps can be modded.
Add currency-agnostic CanAfford method.
Add many more options to ModuleLiftingSurface and for customizing body lift.
ModuleAnimateGeneric now supports defaultActionGroup.
ConfigNode now formats float and double values such that no data is lost.
ConfigNode AddValue/SetValue now support most types.
Flag decals in IVAs (InternalFlagDecal module)
Add Crew counts to Vessels

Hello everyone!

Kerbal Space Program is “Turbo Charged” by the release of patch 1.1!

After almost a year of hard work our major update is finally here! In the package you’ll find a large boost in performance due to the upgrade to the Unity 5 game engine, 64 bit binaries for Windows and OSX that will help you mod the game to ridiculous lengths and the brand new KSPedia reference guide for all the information you need to play the game!

That’s not all though, here are some of the highlights for this patch:

All new user interface

The user interface has been rewritten from the ground up to take full advantage of Unity 5’s new integrated systems. The ‘parallel’ UI systems have been removed and the game now uses only one system, adding to the performance bonus the update already brings. Almost all interface elements have been redesigned and tweaked but have retained the familiar feel for experienced players. The most notable tweaks can be found in the map view, staging, IVA portraits and the right-click part menus.

KSPedia

KSPedia will be the primary source for information on just about anything in the game. New players will find the basics of building and flying explained here, and more experienced players can take in information about more advanced concepts such as docking, in-situ resource utilisation and all the information they need to plan a successful mission to the next planet or moon.

New tutorials and scenarios

The tutorials have been extended and reworked from the ground up. The new tutorials will cover topics ranging from basic and advanced construction and flight, to docking and landing on Mun. Learn how to execute the perfect gravity turn, orbit Kerbin and land the Eagle. New scenarios unlock advanced mission concepts to any player: use a spaceplane to re-enter the atmosphere and land it back on the runway at the Kerbal Space Center, return a craft without heat shield from Duna, or beat SpaceX at their own game by flying back the first stage of a rocket to the launch pad.

Patch 1.0.5 build 1028 (16 November 2015)

Reduced engine heating: less explosive decoupling.
Fixed NRE on Kerbal when the part it's on dies.
Fixed IVA breaking on crew transfer.
Fixed typo on Dynawing craft.
IntakeAir resource is now fully hidden in Resources App.
Fixed body lift (it now exists again).
Fixed every instance of part name, so root parts can be detected in all contractual instances.
Used Unity drag to avoid integration errors on splashdown.
Clamped parachute radiation.
Upgrade outdated instances of vessel situations in career saves.
Included layer 19 objects in potential enclosing colliders for cargo bays. (fixes some occlusion errors)

Patch 1.0.5 (10 November 2015)

Highlights

Contextual Contracts & Contract Changes

The contracts system has had a major overhaul with the goal of providing you with more varied and relevant contracts. Front and center in this overhaul are the contextual contracts, which adapt to your progress in the game. Contextual contracts will take your existing infrastructure consisting of bases, stations, satellites and rovers, and will challenge you to do things such as adding new modules, rotate crews, fly in a Kerbal with a specific skill, explore the surface around it, move the orbit and so on.
The goal of the integration of the contracts with your existing missions is to integrate them more in the natural gameplay. You will be asked to use what you have built already, alongside the existing contracts that mostly ask you to launch new items.
More changes can be found in the passive milestone rewards, which automatically reward you for any milestone you cross. These rewards are not only reflected in reputation gains, but also in funding and science bonuses. Higher rewards are still available to players who actively pursue a goal from a World's First contract they've accepted. New milestones are also available, targeting objectives such as space walks, crew transfer and atmospheric flights on alien worlds, and if you're not someone who spends a lot of time at mission control then a new strategy available from the - Administration Building is right up your alley: leadership initiative increases the passive milestone rewards at the expense of contractual rewards, providing a boost to more independent players. Finally, the game now tracks manned and unmanned progress separately.

Thermodynamic improvements

Update 1.0.5 features many improvements to the thermodynamic systems. The thermodynamics ('thermo') system has been reworked to correct the various issues encountered in 1.0.4. In addition the thermodynamics at high timewarp feature more customizability, and support differential skin-internal temperatures and non-instant changes. We've also corrected some issues with the atmospheres of other celestial bodies, and better tuned re-entry and aerobraking across the board. When loading a long-unloaded vessel, unloaded thermal changes will be applied, too.
The concept of core heat was also introduced, which in combination with various fixes should stop unexpected overheating of parts. Probably the best analogy of how this interacts with the rest of the thermal system (internal and skin temperature) would be to compare it to your computer’s case temperature, the temperature inside of the case, and the temperature of your CPU. For example, the ISRU should be capable of smelting materials, yet not melt the rocket it’s attached to. In game, this means that the ISRU works best with a core temperature of about 2000K, even if the part only has an internal temperature of 200-300K. This system allows us to be very expressive with the core temperature and simulate things such as warm-up time & overheating without it being directly coupled to the part temperature, which would become problematic as we enter analytics warp and temperatures equalize.

New buoyancy model

The water buoyancy has been completely reworked. Water is now less soupy and it's very possible to build seaplanes. In keeping with our commitment to make the game as moddable as possible all the physics values can be tweaked in config files. The density of oceans differs across celestials bodies, invoking new gameplay challenges. The impact speed not only depends on the speed of the craft when it hits the water, but also the angle at which it hits the water.

New rocket and spaceplane parts

A wide range of new and overhauled parts were introduced. The toroidal aerospike rocket engine has had an overhaul, as did the basic- and ramjet engines, the radial air intake and many mk.1 spaceplane parts. Among the new parts we find a complete working kit for mk.0 jet engines, the "Goliath" turbofan engine that would be a great fit on a large airliner and the "Vector" rocket engine, which mimics the Space Shuttle's main engines. The mk. 3 Cargo Ramp is a brand new part as well. This'll allow you to drive a payload into the back of an aircraft, or perhaps you want to create a docking bay on a space station with it! These are just some of the updated parts, we're hoping to see many new creations that incorporate them. We've also added new stock craft in the game for you to play around with.

Bugfixes & Tweaks

KSP 1.0.5 has seen a big focus on bugfixes. Over 100 issues were fixed, including launch clamps following you to orbit, . And good news for anyone with a fine eye for detail: the black stripes on the NASA tanks now line up perfectly! There were of course plenty more bugs on the 'fixed list', and a more comprehensive list is available below.

Patch 1.0.4

hotfix for 1.03

Patch 1.0.3

Parts:

Added five new Radiator parts, three of which are deployable.

Misc:

Fixed a bug where using the reset button with an Asteroid loaded would break the Mun tutorial.
Made part's internal highlighter much more efficient.
Disabled flashing highlighter in temperature gauges. (fixes memory leak with temperature overlay)
Fixed KSPUtil.PrintLatitude/Longitude giving wrong result for small negative values.
Fix for horizontalSrfSpd being incorrectly calculated.
Fixed unfortunate typo in the Docking Tutorial.
Fixed an issue where moving the camera using a 3D mouse would break drag-and-dropping of parts in the editors.

Thermal:

1.0.3 features a revised thermal mechanic to better balance heating/cooling between pods and spaceplanes.
Parts now have separate internal temperature and skin temperatures.
Skin temperature is the temperature used for radiation and convection, as well as engine exhaust damage.
Part internal temperature is increased by modules that generate heat and is used for part-part conduction.
Part internal and skin temperature also conduct between each other.
Solar panel efficiency is now calculated based on skin temperature.
When in an atmosphere, there is a divide between the exposed (to convection) and unexposed skin temperatures.
When not in an atmosphere, only one skin temperature is tracked; the two temperatures are unified on atmosphere exit.
Radiative outflux and influx is tracked separately for exposed and unexposed areas of skin (since the shock temperature is much higher than ambient temperature).

Physics:

Added curve to control drag coefficient exponent to DCL and Physics.cs
With lowered drag for sharply-tapered cubes, wing lift and wing drag lowered to match.
Convection velocity exponent raised to 3.3 to increase reentry heat, as well as convection factor.
Convection min area typo corrected.
Newtonian convection kept pace with hypersonic convection.
Drag curves modified to lower transonic hump.
Wing curves modified to lower change in drag based on deflection.
Calculation of exposed area for convection fixed, spaceplanes no longer get as extreme heat.
Flight integrator: allow setting of newtonian density exponent (default 0.5) and use density or density^exponent whichever is greater.
Broke radiation into two parts, you get the regular background temp on your face not exposed to reentry flux, and the very high reentry one for the area that is.
Clamped convection correctly so you will never pass external temperature.
Added a factor to simulate the switch from laminar to turbulent flow (in layman's terms, if you're going too fast too low, you get a massive boost to heating). That corrects so steep reentries are in fact deadlier than shallow ones.
Added conduction-changer module to Mk1 and Mk1-2 pods (necessary to not kill chutes), buffed heat shields for new heat loads. Changed burn/rip numbers for drogue chutes.
Parachute module updated to use the new convection code.
Skin temperature variables are controllable on per-part basis.
Sped up Flight Integrator slightly by minimizing repeated loops through parts.
Better compute various vessel values This should lower phantom orbit changing and wobble!
Remove thermal mass as a factor in conduction rate: what matters is area.
Add conduction between parts' skins (as well as between the internals of parts, between a part's internals and its skin, and between the exposed and unexposed skin of a part, all of which were already in.)
Fix some small issues in conduction (better clamping), sped it up slightly.
Fixed issue with radiation (no longer have to use dirty hack to prevent parts blowing up).
Lowered skin thickness slightly globally, made magic number sane (part.skinMassPerArea is now in kg/m^2).
Added Hsp (resource thermal mass value) to Ore resource.

Parts:

Updated Mk1 Inline Cockpit model.
Further decrease in LV-N heat production.
Rebalance of SRB for the new drag changes.
KR-2L description updated, mass to 9t, SL Isp to 255.
Jet thrusts rebalanced for new drag (thrusts lowered, BJE curves altered). Jet Isp halved due to increased fuel quantity and lower drag.
Lowered LV-N heat a bit, still a bit hot.
Edited KS-25x4 "Mammoth" engine description.
Update description of radial-mount engines to recommend use for extra attitude control.
Mk1 fuel tank: uses same dry mass fraction and resource filling compared to its LFO counterpart as Mk2 parts do.
Radial attachment point cost lowered.
Shielded docking port radial attach node fixed.
Aerospike mass lowered as a buff (it needed a buff to compete with late-tier engines) and tangents fixed.
Heat shield thermal mass modifier increased to 0.05 to deal with increased heating. Max temp lowered to 3000 to avoid totally overpowered radiation heatloss.
Mk3 cargo bays have override cubes (they got missed when cargo bays got custom cubes) - should now have expected drag.
New large landing gear have override cubes (cubes were reversed).
Mk3 parts have breaking forces/torques specified and should no longer break on landing.
Mk2 cockpits have same breaking force/torque as other Mk2 parts.
Ablator resource heat capacity increased.
Rebalanced LV-1 to have Sea Level ISP of 80.
Rebalanced Poodle to have Sea Level ISP of 90.
To fix spaceplane vs pod reentry and better allow hot reentries, temp is separated between part internal temperature and part skin temperature.
Fixed some occlusion issues. Occlusion is now over-generous rather than under-generous.
Buffed heat resistance of spaceplane parts.
Added in CoL and CoP offsets for wing parts, no longer at the attach node.
Fix for ablator and configs not taking skin temp into account.
Fixed Radian vs Lat/Lon bug in Overlay and made displays more consistent.
Fixed potential exploits with sci lab.
Removed transparency and added direct-attach node to heat shields.
Balanced heat shields for skin temps. A Mk1-2 straight-in reentry to Eve starting at 6.5km/sec surface (more orbital) is just barely survivable (ablator fully depletes), and regular Eve and Kerbin Munar reentries deplete about 1/6 to 1/4 the shield.
Added a tuning factor to conduction between parts with different shielded states, so a cargo/service bay won't conduct much to parts within it. Since radiation is disabled for parts within bays, they'd just increase in temperature with no way to cool during reentry, and parts in bays would be the first to blow up on reentry.
Upped non-drogue chute default full-deploy altitude since pods were crashing before the chute fully opened.
Upped non-drogue chutes' stress/thermal limits for deployment (safe speed is now around 290m/s at sea level rather than 250). Increased the time to fully deploy slightly so less of a G shock.
Increased max temp of linear RCS, slightly decreased max temp of RCS quad.
Tweaks to fairings to change the skin:internal thermal mass distribution, and better protect parts inside fairings and cargo bays.
Not-Rockomax Micronode side stack nodes corrected.
Parachutes now have deployment warnings in the Part Action menu, when it's safe to deploy etc.
Halved intakeAir requirements for jets. Slightly raises service ceiling, mainly helps mitigate flameouts due to resource transfer issues.
Balanced thermal mass of drogue chutes to correct max opening velocities.
Attach node refinements on Wing Connector Type A and Structural Wing Type A.
Removed drag from Intake context UI.
