* Most Netscript Runtime errors (the ones that cause your script to crash) should now include the line number where the error occured
* When working for a company, your current company reputation is now displayed
* Whenever you get a Faction Invite it will be immediately appended to your 'invited factions' list. Therefore the checkFactionInvitations() Singularity Function should now be properly useable since you no longer need to decline a Faction Invitation before it shows up in the result.

-------------------
* Added several new features to Gang UI to make it easier to manage your Gang.
* Changed the Gang Member upgrade mechanic. Now, rather than only being able to have one weapon/armor/vehicle/etc., you can purchase all the upgrades for each Gang member and their multipliers will stack. To balance this out, the effects (AKA multipliers) of each Gang member upgrade were reduced.
* Added a new script editor option: Max Error Count. This affects how many approximate lines the script editor will process (JSHint) for common errors. Increasing this option can affect negatively affect performance

* Rebalancing: Made many upgrades/purchases cheaper. Receive more money from investors in early stage. Company valuation is higher after going public
* Multiple bug fixes
* Added rm() Netscript function
* Updated the way script RAM usage is calculated. Now, a function only increases RAM usage the first time it is called. i.e. even if you call hack() multiple times in a script, it only counts against RAM usage once. The same change applies for while/for loops and if conditionals.
* The RAM cost of the following were increased:
* If statements: increased by 0.05GB
* run() and exec(): increased by 0.2GB
* scp(): increased by 0.1GB
* purchaseServer(): increased by 0.25GB
* Note: You may need to re-save all of your scripts in order to re-calculate their RAM usages. Otherwise, it should automatically be re-calculated when you reset/prestige

* Conquering a Misc Node will increase the defense of all remaining Misc Nodes that are not being targeted by a certain percentage
* Reputation reward for winning a Mission is now affected by faction favor and Player's faction rep multiplier
* Whenever a Node is conquered, its stats are reduced
v0.29.3 - 10/3/2017
-------------------
* Fixed bug for killing scripts and showing error messages when there are errors in a player-defined function
* Added function name autocompletion in Script Editor. Press Ctrl+space on a prefix to show autocompletion options.
* Minor rebalancing and bug fixes for Infiltration and Hacking Missions
v0.29.2 - 10/1/2017
-------------------
* installAugmentations() Singularity Function now takes a callback script as an argument. This is a script that gets ran automatically after Augmentations are installed. The script is run with no arguments and only a single thread, and must be found on your home computer.
* Added the ability to create your own functions in Netscript. See [[Netscript Functions|this link]] for details
* Added :q, :x, and :wq Vim Ex Commands when using the Vim script editor keybindings. :w, :x, and :wq will all save the script and return to Terminal. :q will quit (return to Terminal) WITHOUT saving. If anyone thinks theres an issue with this please let me know, I don't use Vim
* Added a new Augmentation: ADR-V2 Pheromone Gene
* In Hacking Missions, enemy nodes will now automatically target Nodes and perform actions.
* Re-balanced Hacking Missions through minor tweaking of many numbers
* The faction reputation reward for Hacking Missions was slightly increased
v0.29.1 - 9/27/2017
-------------------
* New gameplay feature that is currently in BETA: Hacking Missions. Hacking Missions is an active gameplay mechanic (its a minigame) that is meant to be used to earn faction reputation. However, since this is currently in beta, hacking missions will NOT grant reputation for the time being, since the feature likely has many bugs, balance problems, and other issues. If you have any feedback regarding the new feature, feel free to let me know
* CHANGED THE RETURN VALUE OF getScriptIncome() WHEN RAN WITH NO ARGUMENTS. It will now return an array of two values rather than a single value. This may break your scripts, so make sure to update them!
* Added continue statement for for/while loops
* Added getServerMinSecurityLevel(), getPurchasedServers(), and getTimeSinceLastAug() Netscript functions
* Netscript scp() function can now take an array as the first argument, and will try to copy every file specified in the array (it will just call scp() normally for every element in the array). If an array is passed in, then the scp() function returns true if at least one element from the array is successfully copied
* Added Javascript's Date module to Netscript. Since 'new' is not supported in Netscript yet, only the Date module's static methods will work (now(), UTC(), parse(), etc.).
* Failing a crime now gives half the experience it did before
* The forced repeated 'Find The-Cave' message after installing The Red Pill Augmentation now only happens if you've never destroyed a BitNode before, and will only popup every 15 minutes. If you have already destroyed a BitNode, the message will not pop up if you have messages suppressed (if you don't have messages suppressed it WILL still repeatedly popup)
* fileExists() function now works on literature files
* Updated scan() Netscript function so that you can choose to have it print IPs rather than hostnames
* Refactored scp() Netscript function so that it takes an optional 'source server' argument
* For Infiltration, decreased the percentage by which the security level increases by about 10% for every location
* Using :w in the script editor's Vim keybinding mode should now save and quit to Terminal
* Some minor optimizations that should reduce the size of the save file
* scan-analyze Terminal command will no longer show your purchased servers, unless you pass a '-a' flag into the command
* After installing the Red Pill augmentation from Daedalus, the message telling you to find 'The-Cave' will now repeatedly pop up regardless of whether or not you have messages suppressed
* Various bugfixes
v0.28.6 - 9/15/2017
-------------------
* Time required to create programs now scales better with hacking level, and should generally be much faster
* Added serverExists(hostname/ip) and getScriptExpGain(scriptname, ip, args...) Netscript functions
* Short circuiting && and || logical operators should now work
* Assigning to multidimensional arrays should now work
* Scripts will no longer wait for hack/grow/weaken functions to finish if they are killed. They will die immediately
* The script loop that checks whether any scripts need to be started/stopped now runs every 6 seconds rather than 10 (resulting in less delays when stopping/starting scripts)
* Fixed several bugs/exploits
* Added some description for BitNode-5 (not implemented yet, should be soon though)
v0.28.5 - 9/13/2017
-------------------
* The fl1ght.exe program that is received from jump3r is now sent very early on in the game, rather than at hacking level 1000
* Hostname is now displayed in Terminal
* Syntax highlighting now works for all Netscript functions
* Export should now work on Edge/IE
v0.28.4 - 9/11/2017
-------------------
* Added getScriptIncome() Netscript function
* Added Javascript's math module to Netscript. See [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Math this link for details]
* Added several member variables for the Hacknet Node API that allow you to access info about their income
* All valid Netscript functions are now syntax highlighted as keywords in the editor. This means they will a different color than invalid netscript functions. The color will depend on your theme. Note that right now, this only applies for normal Netscript functions, not functions in the TIX API, Hacknet Node API, or Singularity Functions.
* Comments and operators no longer count towards RAM usage in scripts.
* Variety of bug fixes and updates to informational text in the game
v0.28.3 - 9/7/2017
------------------
* Added ls() Netscript function
* Increased company wages by about ~10% across the board
* The scp() Netsction function and Terminal command now works for .lit files
* Increased the amount of RAM on many lower level servers (up to level 200 hacking level required).
v0.28.2 - 9/4/2017
------------------
* Added several configuration options for script editor (key bindings, themes, etc.)
* Certain menu options will now be hidden until their relevant gameplay is unlocked. This includes the Factions, Augmentations, Create Program, Travel, and Job tabs. This will only affect newer players.
* Most unrecognize or un-implemented syntax errors in Netscript will now include the line number in the error message
v0.28.1 - 9/1/2017
------------------
* The script editor now uses the open-source Ace editor, which provides a much better experience when coding!
* Added tprint() Netscript function
v0.28.0 - 8/30/2017
-------------------
* Added BitNode-4: The Singularity
* Added BitNode-11: The Big Crash
* Migrated the codebase to use webpack (doesn't affect any in game content, except maybe some slight performance improvements and there may be bugs that result from dependency errors
v0.27.3 - 8/19/2017
-------------------
* You can now purchase upgrades for Gang Members (BitNode 2 only)
* Decreased Gang respect gains and slightly increased wanted gains (BitNode 2 only)
* Other gangs will increase in power faster (BitNode 2 only)
* Added getHackTime(), getGrowTime(), and getWeakenTime() Netscript functions
v0.27.2 - 8/18/2017
-------------------
* Added getServerGrowth() Netscript function
* Added getNextHacknetNodeCost() Netscript function
* Added new 'literature' files (.lit extension) that are used to build lore for the game. These .lit files can be found in certain servers throughout the game. They can be viewed with the 'cat' Terminal command and copied over to other servers using the 'scp' command. These .lit files won't be found until you reset by installing Augmentations
* Fixed some bugs with Gang Territory(BitNode 2 only)
v0.27.1 - 8/15/2017
-------------------
* Changed the way Gang power was calculated to make it scale better late game (BitNode 2 only)
* Lowered the respect gain rate in Gangs (Bitnode 2 only)
* Added '| grep pattern' option for ls Terminal command. This allows you to only list files that contain a certain pattern
* Added break statement in Netscript
* Display for some numerical values is now done in shorthand (e.g 1.000m instead of 1,000,000)
v0.27.0 - 8/13/2017
-------------------
* Added secondary 'prestige' system - featuring Source Files and BitNodes
* MILD SPOILERS HERE: Installing 'The Red Pill' Augmentation from Daedalus will unlock a special server called w0r1d_d43m0n. Finding and manually hacking this server through Terminal will destroy the Player's current BitNode, and allow the player to enter a new one. When destroying a BitNode, the player loses everything except the scripts on his/her home computer. The player will then gain a powerful second-tier persistent upgrade called a Source File. The player can then enter a new BitNode to start the game over. Each BitNode has different characteristics, and many will have new content/mechanics as well. Right now there are only 2 BitNodes. Each BitNode grants its own unique Source File. Restarting and destroying a BitNode you already have a Source File for will upgrade your Source File up to a maximum level of 3.
* Reputation gain with factions and companies is no longer a linear conversion, but an exponential one. It will be much easier to gain faction favor at first, but much harder later on.
* Significantly increased Infiltration exp gains
* Fixed a bug with company job requirement tooltips
* Added scriptRunning(), scriptKill(), and getScriptRam() Netscript functions. See documentation for details
* Fixed a bug with deleteServer() Netscript function
v0.26.4 - 8/1/2017
------------------
* All of the 'low-level servers' in early game that have a required hacking level now have 8GB of RAM instead of 4GB
* Increased the amount of experience given at university
* Slightly increased the production of Hacknet Nodes and made them cheaper to upgrade
* Infiltration now gives slightly more EXP and faction reputation
* Added two new crimes. These crimes are viable to attempt early on in the game and are relatively passive (each take 60+ seconds to complete)
* Crimes give more exp and more money
* Max money available on a server decreased from 50x the server's starting money to 25x
* Significantly increased wages for all jobs
v0.26.3
-------
* Added support for large numbers using Decimal.js. Right now it only applies for the player's money
* Purchasing servers with the Netscript function purchaseServer() is no longer 2x as expensive as doing manually it now costs the same
* Early game servers have more starting money
v0.26.2
-------
* Major rebalancing and randomization of the amount of money that servers start with
* Significantly lowered hacking exp gain from hacking servers. The exp gain for higher-level servers was lowered more than that of low level servers. (~16% for lower level servers, up to ~25% for higher-level servers)
* Added deleteServer() Netscript function
* You can now purchase a maximum of 25 servers each run (Deleting a server will allow you to purchase a new one)
* Added autocompletion for './' Terminal command
* Darkweb prices now displayed properly using toLocaleString()
* Added NOT operator (!) and negation operator(-) in Netscript, so negative numbers should be functional now
* Rejected faction invitations will now show up as 'Outstanding Faction Invites' in the Factions page. These can be accepted at any point in the future
* Added a few more configurable game settings for suppressing messages and faction invitations
* Added tooltips for company job requirements
v0.26.1
-------
* Added autocompletion for aliases
* Added getServerRam() Netscript function()
* Added getLevelUpgradeCost(n), getRamUpgradeCost(), getCoreUpgradeCost() functions for Netscript Hacknet Node API
* Added some configurable settings (See Game Options menu)
v0.26.0
-------
* Game now has a real ending, although it's not very interesting/satisfying right now. It sets up the framework for the secondary prestige system in the future
* Forgot to mention that since last update, comments now work in Netscript. Use // for single line comments or /* and \*/ for multiline comments just like in Javascript
* Added ports to Netscript. These ports are essentially serialized queues. You can use the write() Netscript function to write a value to a queue, and then you can use the read() Netscript function to read the value from the queue. Once you read a value from the queue it will be removed. There are only 10 queues (1-10), and each has a maximum capacity of 50 entries. If you try to write to a queue that is full, the the first value is removed. See wiki/Netscript documentation for more details
* You can now use the 'help' Terminal command for specific commands
* You can now use './' to run a script/program (./NUKE.exe). However, tab completion currently doesn't work for it (I'm working on it)
* Decreased the base growth rate of servers by ~25%
* Both the effect of weaken() and its time to execute were halved. In other words, calling weaken() on a server only lowers its security by 0.05 (was 0.1 before) but the time to execute the function is half of what it was before. Therefore, the effective rate of weaken() should be about the same
* Increased all Infiltration rewards by ~10%, and increased infiltration rep gains by an additional 20% (~32% total for rep gains)
* The rate at which the security level of a facility increases during Infiltration was decreased significantly (~33%)
* Getting treated at the Hospital is now 33% more expensive
* Slightly increased the amount of time it takes to hack a server
* Slightly decreased the amount of money gained when hacking a server (~6%)
* Slightly decreased the base cost for RAM on home computer, but increased the cost multiplier. This means that upgrading RAM on the home computer should be slightly cheaper at the start, but slightly more expensive later on
* Increased the required hacking level for many late game servers
* The sleep() Netscript function now takes an optional 'log' argument that specifies whether or not the 'Sleeping for N milliseconds' will be logged for the script
* Added clearLog() Netscript function
* Deleted a few stocks. Didn't see a reason for having so many, and it just affects performance. Won't take effect until you reset by installing Augmentations
* There was a typo with Zeus Medical's server hostname. It is now 'zeus-med' rather than 'zeud-med'
* Added keyboard shortcuts to quickly navigate between different menus. See wiki link (http://bitburner.wikia.com/wiki/Shortcuts)
* Changed the Navigation Menu UI
v0.25.0
-------
* Refactored Netscript to use the open-source Acorns Parser. This re-implementation was done by [https://github.com/MrNuggelz Github user MrNuggelz]. This has resulted in several changes in the Netscript language. Some scripts might break because of these changes. Changes listed below:
* Arrays are now fully functional Javascript arrays. You no longer need to use the 'Array' keyword to declare them.
* The length(), clear/clear(), insert(), and remove() functions no longer work for arrays.
* All Javascript array methods are available (splice(), push(), pop(), join(), shift(), indexOf(), etc. See documentation)
* Variables assigned to arrays are now passed by value rather than reference
* Incrementing/Decrementing are now available (i++, ++i)
* You no longer need semicolons at the end of block statements
* Elif is no longer valid. Use 'else if' instead
* Netscript's Hacknet Node API functions no longer log anything
* Stock prices now update every ~6 seconds when the game is active (was 10 seconds before)
* Added a new mechanic that affects how stock prices change
* Script editor now has dynamic indicators for RAM Usage and Line number
* Augmentation Rebalancing - Many late game augmentations are now slightly more expensive. Several early game augmentations had their effects slightly decreased
* Increased the amount of rewards (both money and rep) you get from infiltration
* Purchasing servers is now slightly more expensive
* Calling the Netscript function getServerMoneyAvailable('home') now return's the player's money
* Added round(n) Netscript function - Rounds a number
* Added purchaseServer(hostname, ram) Netscript function
* Added the TIX API. This must be purchased in the WSE. It persists through resets. Access to the TIX API allows you to write scripts that perform automated algorithmic trading. See Netscript documentation
* Minor rebalancing in a lot of different areas
* Changed the format of IP Addresses so that they are smaller (will consist mostly of single digit numbers now). This will reduce the size of the game's save file.
v0.24.1
-------
* Adjusted cost of upgrading home computer RAM. Should be a little cheaper for the first few upgrades (up to ~64GB), and then will start being more expensive than before. High RAM upgrades should now be significantly more expensive than before.
* Slightly lowered the starting money available on most mid-game and end-game servers (servers with required hacking level greater than 200) by about 10-15%
* Rebalanced company/company position reputation gains and requirements
* Studying at a university now gives slightly more EXP and early jobs give slightly less EXP
* Studying at a university is now considerably more expensive
* Rebalanced stock market
* Significantly increased cost multiplier for purchasing additional Hacknet Nodes
* The rate at which facility security level increases during infiltration for each clearance level was lowered slightly for all companies
* Updated Faction descriptions
* Changed the way alias works. Normal aliases now only work at the start of a Terminal command (they will only replace the first word in the Terminal command). You can also create global aliases that work on any part of the command, like before. Declare global aliases by entering the optional -g flag: alias -g name="value" - [https://github.com/MrNuggelz Courtesy of Github user MrNuggelz]
* 'top' Terminal command implemented courtesy of [https://github.com/LTCNugget Github user LTCNugget]. Currently, the formatting gets screwed up if your script names are really long.
v0.24.0
-------
* Players now have HP, which is displayed in the top right. To regain HP, visit the hospital. Currently the only way to lose HP is through infiltration
* Infiltration - Attempt to infiltrate a company and steal their classified secrets. See 'Companies' documentation for more details
* Stock Market - Added the World Stock Exchange (WSE), a brokerage that lets you buy/sell stocks. To begin trading you must first purchase an account. A WSE account will persist even after resetting by installing Augmentations. How the stock market works should hopefully be self explanatory. There is no documentation about it currently, I will add some later. NOTE: Stock prices only change when the game is open. The Stock Market is reset when installing Augmentations, which means you will lose all your stocks
* Decreased money gained from hacking by ~12%
* Increased reputation required for all Augmentations by ~40%
* Cost increase when purchasing multiple augmentations increased from 75% to 90%
* Added basic variable runtime to Netscript operations. Basic commands run in 100ms. Any function incurs another 100ms in runtime (200ms total). Any function that starts with getServer incurs another 100ms runtime (300ms total). exec() and scp() require 400ms total.
* Slightly reduced the amount of experience gained from hacking
v0.23.1
-------
* scan() Netscript function now takes a single argument representing the server from which to scan.
v0.23.0
-------
* You can now purchase multiple Augmentations in a run. When you purchase an Augmentation you will lose money equal to the price and then the cost of purchasing another Augmentation during this run will be increased by 75%. You do not gain the benefits of your purchased Augmentations until you install them. This installation can be done through the 'Augmentation' tab. When you install your Augmentations, your game will reset like before.
* Reputation needed to gain a favor from faction decreased from 7500 to 6500
* Reputation needed to gain a favor from company increased from 5000 to 6000
* Reputation cost of all Augmentations increased by 16%
* Higher positions at companies now grant slightly more reputation for working
* Added getServerMaxMoney() Netscript function
* Added scan() Netscript function
* Added getServerNumPortsRequired() Netscript function
* There is now no additional RAM cost incurred when multithreading a script
v0.22.1
-------
* You no longer lose progress on creating programs when cancelling your work. Your progress will be saved and you will pick up where you left off when you start working on it again
* Added two new programs: AutoLink.exe and ServerProfiler.exe
* Fixed bug with Faction Field work reputation gain
v0.22.0 - Major rebalancing, optimization, and favor system
* Almost every server with a required hacking level of 200 or more now has slightly randomized server parameters. This means that after every Augmentation purchase, the required hacking level, base security level, and growth factor of these servers will all be slightly different
* The hacking speed multiplier now increases rather than decreases. The hacking time is now divided by your hacking speed multiplier rather than multiplied. In other words, a higher hacking speed multiplier is better
* Servers now have a minimum server security, which is approximately one third of their starting ('base') server security
* If you do not steal any money from a server, then you gain hacking experience equal to the amount you would have gained had you failed the hack
* The effects of grow() were increased by 50%
* grow() and weaken() now give hacking experience based on the server's base security level, rather than a flat exp amount
* Slightly reduced amount of exp gained from hack(), weaken(), and grow()
* Rebalanced formulas that determine crime success
* Reduced RAM cost for multithreading a script. The RAM multiplier for each thread was reduced from 1.02 to 1.005
* Optimized Script objects so they take less space in the save file
* Added getServerBaseSecurityLevel() Netscript function
* New favor system for companies and factions. Earning reputation at a company/faction will give you favor for that entity when you reset after installing an Augmentation. This favor persists through the rest of the game. The more favor you have, the faster you will earn reputation with that faction/company
* You can no longer donate to a faction for reputation until you have 150 favor with that faction
* Added unalias Terminal command
* Changed requirements for endgame Factions
v0.21.1
-------
* IF YOUR GAME BREAKS, DO THE FOLLOWING: Options -> Soft Reset -> Save Game -> Reload Page. Sorry about that!
* Autocompletion for aliases - courtesy of [https://github.com/LTCNugget Github user LTCNugget]
v0.21.0
-------
* Added dynamic arrays. See Netscript documentation
* Added ability to pass arguments into scripts. See documentation
* The implementation/function signature of functions that deal with scripts have changed. Therefore, some old scripts might not work anymore. Some of these functions include run(), exec(), isRunning(), kill(), and some others I may have forgot about. Please check the updated Netscript documentation if you run into issues.-Note that scripts are now uniquely identified by the script name and their arguments. For example, you can run a script using::
run foodnstuff.script 1
and you can also run the same script with a different argument::
run foodnstuff.script 2
These will be considered two different scripts. To kill the first script you must run::
kill foodnstuff.script 1
and to kill the second you must run::
kill foodnstuff.script 2
Similar concepts apply for Terminal Commands such as tail, and Netscript commands such as run(), exec(), kill(), isRunning(), etc.
* Added basic theme functionality using the 'theme' Terminal command - All credit goes to /u/0x726564646974 who implemented the awesome feature
* Optimized Script objects, which were causing save errors when the player had too many scripts
* Formula for determining exp gained from hacking was changed
* Fixed bug where you could purchase Darkweb items without TOR router
* Slightly increased cost multiplier for Home Computer RAM
* Fixed bug where you could hack too much money from a server (and bring its money available below zero)
* Changed tail command so that it brings up a display box with dynamic log contents. To get old functionality where the logs are printed to the Terminal, use the new 'check' command
* As a result of the change above, you can no longer call tail/check on scripts that are not running
* Added autocompletion for buying Programs in Darkweb
v0.20.2
-------
* Fixed several small bugs
* Added basic array functionality to Netscript
* Added ability to run scripts with multiple threads. Running a script with n threads will multiply the effects of all hack(), grow(), and weaken() commands by n. However, running a script with multiple threads has drawbacks in terms of RAM usage. A script's ram usage when it is 'multithreaded' is calculated as: base cost * numThreads * (1.02 ^ numThreads). A script can be run multithreaded using the 'run [script] -t n' Terminal command or by passing in an argument to the run() and exec() Netscript commands. See documentation.
* RAM is slightly (~10%) more expensive (affects purchasing server and upgrading RAM on home computer)
* Fixed bug where sometimes scripts would crash without showing the error
* Added Deepscan programs to Dark Web
* Declining a faction invite will stop you from receiving invitations from that faction for the rest of the run
* (BETA) Added functionality to export/import saves. WARNING This is only lightly tested. You cannot choose where to save your file it just goes to the default save location. Also I have no idea what will happen if you try to import a file that is not a valid save. I will address these in later updates
v0.20.0
-------
* Refactored Netscript Interpreter code. Operations in Netscript should now run significantly faster (Every operation such as a variable assignment, a function call, a binary operator, getting a variable's value, etc. used to take up to several seconds, now each one should only take ~500 milliseconds).
* Percentage money stolen when hacking lowered to compensate for faster script speeds
* Hacking experience granted by grow() halved
* Weaken() is now ~11% faster, but only grants 3 base hacking exp upon completion instead of 5
* Rebalancing of script RAM costs. Base RAM Cost for a script increased from 1GB to 1.5GB. Loops, hack(), grow() and weaken() all cost slightly less RAM than before
* Added fileExists(file, [server]) Netscript command, which is used to check if a script/program exists on a specified server
* Added isRunning(script, [server]) Netscript command, which is used to check if a script is running on the specified server
* Added killall Terminal command. Kills all running scripts on the current machine
* Added kill() and killall() Netscript commands. Used to kill scripts on specified machines. See Netscript documentation
* Re-designed 'Active Scripts' tab
* Hacknet Node base production rate lowered from 1.6 to 1.55 ($/second)
* Increased monetary cost of RAM (Upgrading home computer and purchasing servers will now be more expensive)
* NEW GROWTH MECHANICS - The rate of growth on a server now depends on a server's security level. A higher security level will result in lower growth on a server when using the grow() command. Furthermore, calling grow() on a server raises that server's security level by 0.004. For reference, if a server has a security level of 10 it will have approximately the same growth rate as before.
* Server growth no longer happens naturally
* Servers now have a maximum limit to their money. This limit is 50 times it's starting money
* Hacking now grants 10% less hacking experience
* You can now edit scripts that are running
* Augmentations cost ~11% more money and 25% more faction reputation
v0.19.7
-------
* Added changelog to Options menu
* Bug fix with autocompletion (wasn't working properly for capitalized filenames/programs
v0.19.6
-------
* Script editor now saves its state even when you change tabs
* scp() command in Terminal/script will now overwrite files at the destination
* Terminal commands are no longer case-sensitive (only the commands themselves such as 'run' or 'nano'. Filenames are still case sensitive
* Tab automcompletion will now work on commands
v0.19.0
-------
* Hacknet Nodes have slightly higher base production, and slightly increased RAM multiplier. But they are also a bit more expensive at higher levels
* Calling grow() and weaken() in a script will now work offline, at slower rates than while online (The script now keeps track of the rate at which grow() and weaken() are called when the game is open. These calculated rates are used to determine how many times the calls would be made while the game is offline)
* Augmentations now cost 20% more reputation and 50% more money
* Changed the mechanic for getting invited to the hacking factions (CyberSec, NiteSec, The Black Hand, BitRunners) Now when you get to the required level to join these factions you will get a message giving you instructions on what to do in order to get invited.
* Added a bit of backstory/plot into the game. It's not fully fleshed out yet but it will be used in the future
* Made the effects of many Augmentations slightly more powerful
* Slightly increased company job wages across the board (~5-10% for each position)
* Gyms and classes are now significantly more expensive
* Doubled the amount by which a server's security increases when it is hacked. Now, it will increase by 0.002. Calling weaken() on a server will lower the security by 0.1.
v0.18.0
-------
* Major rebalancing (sorry didn't record specifics. But in general hacking gives more money and hacknet nodes give less)
* Server growth rate (both natural and manual using grow()) doubled
* Added option to Soft Reset
* Cancelling a full time job early now only results in halved gains for reputation. Exp and money earnings are gained in full
* Added exec() Netscript command, used to run scripts on other servers.
* NEW HACKING MECHANICS: Whenever a server is hacked, its 'security level' is increased by a very small amount. The security level is denoted by a number between 1-100. A higher security level makes it harder to hack a server and also decreases the amount of money you steal from it. Two Netscript functions, weaken() and getServerSecurityLevel() level, were added. The weaken(server) function lowers a server's security level. See the Netscript documentation for more details
* When donating to factions, the base rate is now $1,000,000 for 1 reputation point. Before, it was $1,000 for 1 reputation point.
* Monetary costs for all Augmentations increased. They are now about ~3.3 - 3.75 times more expensive than before
v0.17.1
-------
* Fixed issue with purchasing Augmentations that are 'upgrades' and require previous Augmentations to be installed
* Increased the percentage of money stolen from servers when hacking
v0.17.0
-------
* Greatly increased amount of money gained for crimes (by about 400% for most crimes)
* Criminal factions require slightly less negative karma to get invited to
* Increased the percentage of money stolen from servers when hacking
* Increased the starting amount of money available on beginning servers (servers with <50 required hacking))
* Increased the growth rate of servers (both naturally and manually when using the grow() command in a script)
* Added getHostname() command in Netscript that returns the hostname of the server a script is running on
* jQuery preventDefault() called when pressing ctrl+b in script editor
* The Neuroflux Governor augmentation (the one that can be repeatedly leveled up) now increases ALL multipliers by 1%. To balance it out, it's price multiplier when it levels up was increased
* Hacknet Node base production decreased from $1.75/s to $1.65/s
* Fixed issue with nested for loops in Netscript (stupid Javascript references)
* Added 'scp' command to Terminal and Netscript
* Slightly nerfed Hacknet Node Kernel DNI and Hacknet Node Core DNI Augmentations
* Increased TOR Router cost to $200k
v0.16.0
-------
* New Script Editor interface
* Rebalanced hacknet node - Increased base production but halved the multiplier from additional cores. This should boost its early-game production but nerf its late-game production
