Welcome to the 1.21 Progress Thread. Here we will keep a running change log of everything that has been implemented for 1.21. If you're on Testing build, you will have received Items marked with a + already. Things not currently available to the public are marked with a -.
So what is planned for 1.21? This build is focused on redesigning many of Office GUI systems. We will be completely overhauling the reports, charts, and magazine systems. Hopefully moving them to a web-browser based solution which will allow us to implement other features such as in game news, a game wiki/manual, and more. We'll also be consolidating some things such as the HR department. And we'll be implementing a new side bar notification system which will keep track of things you have done, and what you are currently doing such as research/construction finishing times, etc.
Before I get to that, I plan on implementing a series of bug fixes. I've broken up the bugs into two groups. Ones that require save game changes, and ones that don't require save game changes. I will be working on the ones that do not require save game changes first. I will release these over a series of weekly hotfixes to everyone on 1.20.
The bugfixes that require save game changes will be released in 1.20.1 to testing build. Afterwards I start focusing on 1.21 features.
