Intelligence rework, most intelligence gain have been multiplied by at least 100, if not more. All intelligence use have been reviewed and often boosted but by a percentage. Typically this means intelligence gives a 2-6% boost to everything for normal players and around 13% for int farmers.

 =========
 
+v0.50.0 - 2021-03-20 Intelligence (hydroflame)
+----------------------------------------------
+
+**Intelligence**
+
+* int exp gain and effect has been reworked. It is now much more easy to
+  acquire and far more powerful. The goal here is to feel like players have
+  another tool in their arsenal.
+
+**Factions**
+
+* Hacking factions no longer have hacking level requirements since their associated servers do.
+
+**Misc.**
+
+* Sleeve styling.
+* number formatting
+* remove wiki button in Hacking Missions.
+* Fix NaN displayed when very very large numbers are reached.
 
 v0.49.2 - 2021-03-13 (hydroflame)
--------
+---------------------------------
+
+**BN8**
 
-BN8
 * A new bitnode multipler has been added, it lets you reduce money from a
   server without gaining actually any money. This is important for BN8 where
   hack/grow can influence the stock market. No money can be gained from
   hacking but server money can still be reduced.
 
-Documentation
+**Documentation**
+
 * readthedocs should now be more consistent and many examples were added.
 
-Netscript
+**Netscript**
+
 * Ace editor will now correctly highlight all functions.
 * 'tFormat' is a new netscript function that returns a human readable
   representation of milliseconds. eg. "2 hours 15 minute 43 seconds"
 
-Gang

-===============================================
-
-The :js:func:`getHackTime`, :js:func:`getGrowTime`, and :js:func:`getWeakenTime`
-all take an additional third optional parameter for specifying a specific intelligence
-level to see how that would affect the hack/grow/weaken times. This parameter
-defaults to your current intelligence level.
-
-(Intelligence is unlocked after obtaining Source-File 5).

-The function signatures are then::

-    getGrowTime(hostname/ip[, hackLvl=current level, intLvl=current level])
