8/24/2017: Tested and confirmed the version 1. 2 of this mod is compatible with the latest patch. 8/21/2017: 1. 2 release. Removed the white square from the selection screen. Thanks Morbidslinky! 8/19/2017: 1. 1 release. No longer conflicts with mods that affect EquipDevelopFlowSetting. 8/17/2017: 1. 0 release. Currently conflicts with mods that make changes to 'EquipDevelopFlowSetting.lua.' I'm looking into fixing that.
