Preview snapshot for players who want the newest features before the next stable release. Expect rough edges; your save files stay compatible whenever possible, but back them up first.

Changes since the previous snapshot

Added

• Creating your first career now offers to connect this computer to an orinks.net account. Right after you hear "Welcome aboard" and where your truck is parked, the game asks once whether to connect this computer to an orinks.net account, with a code and a browser confirmation. It only asks the once -- decline with Not now, or just press Escape, and driving starts right away with nothing else to answer. Connecting links the computer to an account; it does not turn anything on by itself, and you can connect any time later from Online on the main menu, where cloud backup and the drivers board each stay off until you turn them on yourself.

Fixed

• Loading a career no longer cuts off its own welcome. Choosing a saved career from Continue latest career or Choose career used to say "Welcome back" and then get cut off mid-sentence by the terminal announcing where you are parked, so you never heard your money or which terminal you loaded into. The welcome is now heard in full before the terminal speaks.
• Backing all the way out of Settings now speaks "Settings saved." Pressing Escape from the settings categories used to say it and then get cut off by the main menu announcing itself again, so it was never actually heard. It now plays after the main menu's own announcement, so you get the confirmation.
