== As of 2024, due to the sheer number of updates that have been made to Vendetta version Online 1.8.4 ==* Skirmish [[HUD]] control's colors are now correctly displayed. * Skirmish HUD updates on each kill again.* Station names are now being displayed in inventory tree list. * Border Skirmish stats displayed in neat table in mission log (more uses of xxx, this to come).* Multithreaded OpenGL is disabled version has been broken up by default with new VO installs on Mac OS when there is only one cpu. * Plugins: Text lengths are now properly calculated when \127o is used at the end of the text. This was causing some text year into multiple pages to word-wrap prematurelyreduce page load times. * Cargo dropped in sectors already full of cargo will try to "combine" with a nearby cargo box of the same type; this dramatically reduces the number of cargo boxes in sectors where large battles take place and increases frame rate
