Changes since v1.1.0

FEATURES

Custom Rivers: Added a line tool to the Features tab to draw custom rivers. The engine places a river source at the highest point of the drawn line and carves a continuous downhill channel. The tool will cut gorges through any higher terrain in its path and drop to form waterfalls over cliffs.

IMPROVEMENTS

Regional maps can now be cloned as new standalone master maps, rather than solely as regional children of another map.
Using Ctrl + Left Click will now let you delete an infrastructure pin.
Deleting custom rivers, faults, infrastructure pins, routes, region layers, labels and decorations now require a confirmation.
Removed nodes snapping to infrastructure pins, allowing precise placement of lines and regions.
Vector node sizes remain fixed when zooming the canvas.
Nodes can now be placed closer together.
Left-clicking near a node while drawing a vector line no longer ends the line. Only right-clicking will end the line (except regions where clicking the starting node will close the polygon).
Scrolling lists now remember their position.
Zooming to a feature also now pulses a bounding box around it to help you spot it on the map.
Labels for new routes will now default to font size 0.5 and be set to hidden. Both can be changed in the Label tool.
The list of tectonic faults will now be sorted alphabetically in the Terrain Features tool.

BUG FIXES

Fixed custom biomes and quick styles not being re-added to the UI when loading a map.
Fixed custom biomes not being reapplied to an area when its elevation has been changed using a terrain brush.
Fixed an issue where tectonic fault lines would not reset when creating a new map.
Tectonic fault lines will now be included when creating regional maps.

UNDER THE HOOD

Hydrology Engine: Implemented a monotonic downhill carve algorithm to process custom river routes. The engine evaluates the drawn spline sequentially and mathematically enforces a continuous downward gradient. This ensures the river slices cleanly through mountains and drops into valleys without accidentally raising the surrounding terrain to form aqueducts. A quadratic falloff is then applied to blend the newly carved riverbanks seamlessly into the existing topography.
Vector Architecture: Refactored the spatial node lifecycle (insertion, deletion, and termination) for all linear tools into a unified, data-driven registry pattern. This consolidates the interaction mathematics for rivers, faults, and routes into a single generic handler, removing repetitive conditional branches.
Parameter Configuration: Consolidated the procedural engine's parameter generation into a single derived method, eliminating duplicate configuration logic and preventing architectural drift between local UI state updates and regional map extraction.
Entity Deletion Lifecycle: Expanded the data-driven registry pattern to manage entity deletions. Seven distinct deletion methods have been unified into a single generic handler.
