Author: Usher,

[h2]Greetings, Survivors![/h2]
We are pleased to deliver another important batch of fixes - v0.24.8.7 11 BETA is now available at the default branch - make sure you update the game!
First of all, we changed our entire compilation infrastructure, to build a more stable game that will work much more smoothly and crash less often.
However, we have an important message to all 3% of you who try to use integrated graphics cards:
[b][u]Infection Free Zone cannot work properly with integrated graphics cards[/u][/b]. The game is simply too complex, there are usually way too many dynamic 3D objects and the pathfinding grid is too large for the older generation of machines. IFZ might look aesthetically old-school, but it is actually extremely computation-heavy.
[h2]Changelog: [/h2]
[list]
[*] The HPs of the adapted buildings have been increased based on their size.
[*] The amount of hordes, immigrants, and bandits that we encounter will now be affected by the total volume of the buildings on the map, rather than the total number of buildings on the map.
[*] Beverages now need 2x less grain
