Latitude

Latitude 1.2.4 — Stable Release

This release promotes 1.2.4-beta to a full stable release after validation and extended testing.

🌍 World Generation & Climate

• Resolved snow appearing in equatorial regions
  Snow and cold biomes are now fully excluded from Equator and Tropics latitude bands. Cold leakage is clamped at the biome-selection stage, ensuring warm regions remain warm.
• Finalized latitude-correct biome band enforcement
  Climate bands now behave consistently across all supported world sizes, with improved separation between temperate, subpolar, and polar zones.

🌫️ Visual & Environmental Effects

• East/West border fog finalized with shader support
  EW border fog now integrates correctly with the rendering pipeline, allowing shader-based renderers to display the effect consistently.
• Fog remains cosmetic only
  No impact on terrain generation, structures, or biome logic.

🧭 HUD & Stability

• HUD behavior stabilized for release
  Compass and latitude overlays no longer conflict with menus or screens.
• No biome regressions introduced
  All biomes restored during the beta cycle remain present and correctly placed.

📦 Release Notes

• No experimental features in this release.
• Gameplay behavior is identical to 1.2.4-beta, now marked stable.
• Recommended version for all new worlds and long-term saves.
