It's somehow been another year, but a gap that long between releases doesn't mean that nothing has happened in-between! Besides numerous bugfixes and housekeeping changes, with particular thanks to Sean McGovern and Playmer, this release includes plenty of interesting feature additions for compatibility and new games.

Particularly, the CSV commands which I re-created based on NScripter's versions of the same commands, to store and manage large amounts of string and number variables in new ways. This feature was particularly requested by Eien, however should be useful to a wide variety of projects! If you do end up using them, please do report any bugs since the commands are brand new!

Thank you everyone for sticking around; I'm personally very hopeful for the future of ONScripter-EN in original, ported, and translated games! If you are too, I hope to see you very soon ;-)
