Beta 0.4.2 Update Key (Patreon)

Greetings esteemed supporters. I'm very excited to share Foundry Virtual Tabletop - Beta 0.4.2 which is a major release that adds significant new features, functionalities, bug fixes, and API tools to the software.

This is an even-numbered release which adds large changes and more meaningful feature additions. These even numbered releases will be made available to the Council tier only for a period of 4-7 days, at which point an odd-numbered release (0.4.3) will release for both Council and Beta including a number of fixes, adjustments, and improvements related to the prior release's additions.

Things you need to know.

1. It is intentionally not possible to update from 0.3.x to this version. If you were previously on version 0.3.x you must download a new version and install it in a separate location.

2. It is possible to update from version 0.4.x to 0.4.2. If you were previously on version 0.4.0 or greater, use the update key provided below.

3. Due to the new structure, there are not any game systems or modules which come preinstalled. You must choose which systems and modules to install yourself. This is a temporary decision - I will be working to provide an easy approach for new users to get started without needing to install additional content.

4. Configuration data (launch options, SSH keys, etc...) and installed packages (Systems, Modules, Worlds) are now stored in a user data directory outside of the application installation location.  See here for more details:  http://foundryvtt.com/pages/hosting.html#where-do-i-put-my-data 

5. There is an update to the D&D5E System to accompany this core update. After updating the core software, be sure to also update your system version!

Providing Feedback

The feedback cycle for these releases are very important. There are many large changes where I will be keenly paying attention to feedback to continue building upon this new framework. There are three ways to provide feedback which I have ordered according to my preference. 

1. Discord Channel. My preferred method to collect feedback is through our Discord server where I have created a dedicated channel for Beta 0.4.2 feedback. If you are able to join our Discord community it's the best way to engage with me directly for feedback.

2. GitLab Tracker. You are welcome to create issue reports directly in the GitLab tracker here ( https://gitlab.com/foundrynet/foundryvtt/issues ). If you choose to create issues in GitLab please take extra caution to check that your problem has not already been reported by checking other recently reported issues before creating a new report.

3. Direct Email. If the prior methods do not work for you, please feel free to email me directly with your feedback (admin@foundryvtt.com).

Thank you all so much for your support!
