testlevel chapters 2-31 overwrite game memory (coin counter and flag rows end after world 8: progress, language, options): level projects, play-tests and the arena use chapters 1 and 32-49, old settings migrate; level tally counts the level's own coins and secrets

+# Changelog
+
+## 0.2.1 – changes since 0.1.0
+
+The first test release was 0.1.0 (launcher edition). Everything below is new for testers.
+There are two downloads: **full** (launcher + level editor) and **launcher** (mods only).
+
+### Launcher
+
+- **Clearer texts everywhere.** Mod descriptions and options are explained in plain words,
+  directly under each option instead of only in tooltips.
+- **Setup wizard**
+  - Wrong files, truncated ISO downloads and too little disk space are caught when you
+    pick the source, not after you click Set up.
+  - Copy progress shows megabytes ("123 of 568 MB").
+  - Cancel tells you what happened.
+- **Play**
+  - While the game runs, Play becomes **Quit game**, so a hung game can be stopped from LlamaMod.
+  - A crash now says "The game crashed" with advice, instead of only "The game has ended".
+  - Wine: a too-old Wine version gives a warning, and a wrong Wine command is explained.
+- **Safer applying**
+  - Two LlamaMod windows (or the command line) can no longer break each other's apply.
+  - If LlamaMod is closed in the middle of applying mods, it finishes or rolls back the
+    apply on the next start and tells you.
+  - Settings changed in one window show up in the other.
+  - Old cached mod results are rebuilt after an update.
+- **Mods**
+  - **Mirror mode:** pick the worlds with check boxes.
+  - **Practice and Free camera:** if two hotkeys use the same key, Apply refuses and says
+    which ones clash.
+  - **Boot to level:** a custom start position belongs to its level and no longer breaks
+    other levels.
+  - **Intro skip and Boot to level** can now be used together.
+  - **Test World:** a new gallery with all 253 characters, enemies, animals and objects
+    of the game, standing still on pedestals (the animal pen is gone).
+  - **New levels and the Alligator Arena only use TestLevel chapters 1 and 32–49.** On other
+    chapters the game stored the level's coins over your progress and other game data (chapter 9
+    broke the world map). Levels and settings on old chapters move to a free one automatically.
+  - The level tally shows the real coin and secret totals of new levels, the Test World and the
+    arena instead of the Village's "55".
+- **Save games**
+  - Backups can no longer overwrite each other.
+  - Import… opens in the backups folder.
+  - The table fits small (1280×720) screens.
+- **Layout:** works on small and laptop screens; the dark theme is easier to read.
+
+### Level editor (full edition)
+
+- **Play-test**
+  - Shows "Game running" and a **Stop game** button.
+  - Shift+F5 shows a crosshair where the llama will start.
+  - Play-test copies are removed when the game ends, and your mod selection comes back.
+- **Readable names.** "Coin 3", "Floor 2", "Waypoint 4" instead of internal ids, in the
+  outliner, inspector, status bar and messages; the outliner filter finds them.
+- **Error messages.** Damaged files give one plain sentence with optional details.
+- **Geometry**
+  - Painting or erasing tiles in one drag is one undo step.
+  - New tile option **No collision** (walk-through decoration).
+- **Meshes and export**
+  - **Export level as glTF/GLB** (textures, vertex colours; optionally only the selection,
+    or collision as a separate mesh).
+  - Imported and exported models are **no longer mirrored** compared to Blender. Meshes in
+    older projects keep their look; switch them to "right" handedness in the inspector to
+    fix them.
+- **Objects**
+  - **Guards** and **alligators** need a waypoint box around them, or the game removes
+    them. The editor now sets this up automatically and warns when it is wrong. It also
+    says which objects can trigger a guard's event bit.
+  - The start camera no longer starts inside the llama's head on some base levels. Moving
+    the player start moves its camera and intro fly-by too.
+  - Snap to floor follows the game's own rule.
+- **Object scripts**
+  - Custom object types can be edited and deleted (with undo).
+  - **Script language with compiler:** if/else, loops, switch, events, named parameters.
+  - The script view is much easier to read.
+  - Opcodes have checked descriptions.
+- Narrow docks, small windows and long labels wrap instead of being cut off.
+
+### Known limits
+
+- Tested on Linux (Wine) and in a Windows VM. Real Windows hardware is not tested yet.
+- The game draws objects only within about 12 units of the llama.
