## New Features

* Updated engine with 64-bit support for Windows and macOS. This should improve stability on 64-bit systems.
* Implemented a new moddable plantable objects system
	+ Introducing a new mechanic that allows Support classes to plant ammo satchels for their allies to use. To place an ammo satchel, hold down the Quick Select key (by default: G) to plan the placement of the satchel then let go of the key to plant it. You can cancel the planting process by starting a sprint or aiming down sights in case you’re caught off guard while placing satchels.
	+ Be careful! Ammo Satchels can be damaged and used by either team. (this may change in the future)
* Implemented a new quick select
	+ It is also possible to cycle through your Quick Select abilities by tapping the Quick Select key. In the official maps you only have access to one type of plantable however, so this currently only applies to mods that give you multiple plantables.
	+ Quick Select abilities can be seen both on the inventory screen for classes that have them and on the HUD on the left side of your ammo counter.
	+ Quick Select abilities incur a cooldown period of 10 seconds after being used.
* Active XP Boosts are now visible on the map voting panels.
* Added debug console variable for mappers named sv\_debug\_mapdatabase 1 that allows them to locally to visualize map script data.
* Map scripts can now specify if they want an extra slot to be available for a specific class template.

## Updated Features

* It is now possible to pick up an extra grenade when you are already carrying a grenade of the same ammo type. Note: You can’t pick up more grenades than you can carry.
* Removed Model 1917 class restriction.
