v1.6.0.0

v1.5.3.0

v1.4.0.0

Patch notes:

• Upgraded the bundled AstroModIntegrator copy to 1.2.0.
• Added automatic detection for server mode. If an executable file named AstroServer.exe is located in the current working directory, server mode is automatically enabled.

• Added the optional mods column in server mode, which allows dedicated servers to select which mods should be enforced when refusing mismatched connections.
• Added an indicator that displays if a hash mismatch is detected with the Steam API DLL. This indicator is purely visual and does not affect usage of the mod loader itself.
