v0.3.0-rc1

This is a release candidate: an early-testing build. Try it, and report what breaks - problems found here are problems not shipped to everyone.

FerriteLib is a prerequisite library mod for Coahuilite mods that use its UI kit. It adds no game content of any kind - no Defs, no patches, no textures - and its entire payload is 1.6/Assemblies/FerriteLib.UiKit.dll.

Installing

1. Unzip this archive directly into RimWorld/Mods/. It contains a top-level FerriteLib folder, so the result is Mods/FerriteLib/....
2. Install the mod that needs it (currently Universal Squeaker) from its own releases page.
3. Enable both in the mod list. RimWorld will warn if the consumer is enabled without this one.

Do not copy FerriteLib.UiKit.dll into another mod's folder. Exactly one carrier of that assembly may be installed; two of them bind by load order through the game's single global AssemblyResolve and the copy that loses has no way to find out.

Status

Pre-1.0: the public API is still provisional and a minor bump is a breaking change. The supported range a consumer asserts lives in its own code, because RimWorld's modDependencies cannot express a version at all.
