v1.4.0

2025-10-30T04:36:14Z

v1.4.0 is a complete overhaul of the backend for Satchel which will make it easier for current and future maintainers. Feature wise Satchel remains the same. Highlights of this new version is a completely new packaging system for creating files for distribution, refreshed documentation website, and simplifying dead files in the repository. This version is considered a minor update due to the packaging being updated to use a new structure and support for RunContext.

Breaking Changes

v1.4.0 and newer will now run without being in StarterPlayer. If you parent the SatchelLoader to StarterPlayer then Satchel will initialize two times instead of one unlike previous versions which it was required to parent Satchel to StarterPlayer.
