 # Changelog
 
+# Version 4.45.0
+
+## New Features:
+* Glass/grating is now generated entirely by the compiler, allowing fully 
+  custom items to be made. The original glass/grating frame is now also 
+  generated slightly more efficiently.
+* Added the ability to define variants for corridors. In Clean style this 
+  allows specifying elevator directions, stair direction and the corridor's 
+  light temperature. 
+
+### Enhancements:
+* Added the ability to show multiple warning messages or errors for problems 
+  occurring during package loading and export.
+* Added signage configuration option to the item's context menu, to help make it more visible.
+* Shut down the error server automatically when Portal 2 quits.
+* Added additional EXEs for `compiler_settings.exe` and `backup.exe`. These 
+  allow quickly opening just these windows.
+* The logic for detecting paint splats placed on cubes is improved to 
+  prioritise gel placed directly on droppers. In particular a cleansing gel
+  splat can be placed on the dropper to allow the floor below to still be painted.
+
+### UCP-Relevant changes:
+* Added `sky_draw_first` option to skyboxes, which can fix some rendering bugs 
+  with certain materials.
+* The barrier rework adds several new blocks to `vbsp_config`:
+  * `BarrierFrames` in `vbsp_config` contains definitions for the frame of barriers.
+  * `Barriers` in `vbsp_config` contains the definitions for the brushes to 
+    produce, and then which frame IDs to use.
+  * `BarrierHole` in `info.txt` defines a hole type. This is defined outside the
+    item, because the different style
+    variants can be independently specified by each barrier type.
+  * The `CustomBarrier` result produces an item that converts attached glass/grating.
+* As mentioned above, `CorridorGroup` now has `Options` blocks for specifying 
+  corridor options.
+  These ultimately just set fixups on the instance. `DefaultIndex` has been 
+  replaced with just `Disabled` - all corridors will now be enabled by default.
+* Music can now have a volume specified in the config.
+* Added the `AttachInputOverlay` result, which adds an overlay instance, 
+  but connects it to the original as an additional input. This significantly
+  simplifies logic if an additional prerequisite is required for the item to turn
+  on.
+* Fix catwalk end segment being placed at the top of upwards-facing stairs.
+* #2048: Fix ceiling Faith Plates not functioning correctly.
+* #2040: Warn if no compiler files were found when exporting.
+* #1343: Clone fizzler items if connected to multiple standing/reclined fizzlers.

-  items (Delayers). This allows them to show both count-down and count-up displays.

 * Moved various palette-related buttons, to group them with the other palette options.
 * VPK files can be now placed into `vpk_override` to have them be combined with the built VPK. 
-* Added a warning screen to the developer tab of the options window, indicating that some of these options can temporarily break BEE if changed.
