Reality Expansion Pack v3.5.8 update highlights

With the introduction of the SkunkCrafts Updater, REP now gets faster updates than before and it’s easy to ship fix and small new features with a little testing.

The Reality Expansion Pack gets its updates with a very simple policy:

1. Small updates are shipped via the automatic updates about once per week
2. The store updates are shipped when there’s enough “material” to constitute a new base version for new users that buy REP

Here’s the changelog of the last three updates shipped between late November and early December. Yesterday the store got v3.5.8 as well.
