3.0 - 11 June 2015
---------------------------

WARNING: This is a potentially craft and save-breaking update; it is recommended you abort / recover existing SDHI craft before installing this update

Changes / Fixes:
 - Compatibility Patch for KSP 1.0.x
 - The Service Module's fuel cell now uses the new stock ModuleResourceConverter system, and has the same performance as its stock standalone counterpart
 - Stack attachment node directions have been updated to conform with 1.0.x stricter definitions
    - The Node Resizer plugin is no longer required when attaching the Heat Shield to the pod, Service Module or Avionics Ring
 - All textures have been converted to DDS format for faster loading and reduced memory usage
 - A bright patch on the Pod Boost Protective Cover has been fixed
 - The Heat Shield is now compatible with the new stock reentry system
    - Ablative darkening is not used in SDHI SMS, and has been disabled
    - Deadly Reentry is still supported, and the corresponding patch is now compatible with DRE 7.x
 - The fairingless LV-909 engine has been updated to have similar performance to its stock counterpart
 - The Service Module colliders have now been fixed, so that surface-attached parts like solar panels and RCS thrusters should no longer float out from the lower propulsion trunk segment
 - The Service Module Adapter textures have been reworked to be visually consistent with the Service Module upper ring itself
 - The Pod Boost Protective Cover and Service Module Fairings are now fully compatible with the new stock aerodynamics system
    - This requires the latest version of the AnimatedDecouplers plugin, which provides special versions of the standard decoupler/jettison PartModules in order for the stock ModuleCargoBay to know when to update its drag occlusion behaviour
 - Removed Ferram Aerospace Research MM patch for Pod Boost Protect Cover
    - The latest versions of FAR now intrinsically and automatically handle drag occlusion for hollow parts, making such patches redundant
 - Fixed HotRockets! MM patch for the fairingless LV-909 engine
 

Bugs/Known Issues
 - Mk 1-2 Pod Umbilical Port is now also toggleable outside of the VAB/SPH editor scenes
    - This is due to a limitation with the current stock KSP ModuleAnimateGeneric behaviour, but is not game-breaking.
 - Part testing contracts are generated in Career Mode
    - This not intended behaviour, since the SDHI SMS is intended to be tested as a complete assembled stack rather than in piecemeal
    - A future update might include a proper contract for testing the SDHI SMS
