Improvements

• Updated Credits store's backend libraries due to security policy changes.
• Alliance invitation menu now makes sure the airline is not listed as a possible invitee if it shares HQ/base with any other existing alliance member. (n.b. this does not apply to alliance application from the applying airlines' side since this still within the old UI)

Fixes

• Low Credits balance e-mails were being sent out too often.
• Notifications of in-game messages did not always pop to the main navigation's notification balloon.
• Scheduling page's search data became sometimes corrupted preventing the page load.
• Alliance icon of an alliance still in founding state ( = not yet offically formed) showed up in route planning's airline schedule listing.
• If an aircraft was in long-term storage and a model conversion (e.g. to freighter) was performed, and the plane was taken out of the long-term storage while the conversion maintenance was still ongoing, the D check included in the conversion was not being performed. Fixed by disabling the long-term storage removal while conversion maintenance is ongoing.

Fixes

New features

• Added a new "Delete Alliance" functionality to the Alliance Control Panel. This function is visible / available if you are the last remaining member in an alliance.

• Alliance closure related features upgraded to v.2.0 standard (completely new code). No visible changes to users.
• Added real-world alliance name list to the blocked airline/alliance names database.
• The game subscription billing module is upgraded to v.2.0 with a new code and new look for the e-mail notifications. The billing happens now every day at 12.00 UTC.

• Tooltip popup at scheduling page on mobile did not respect display boundaries.

Improvements

• Further updates to backend backup processes, migrating this system fully to the new backend also for the game databases.

• Achievement icons were not displaying at game's final results page.
• Daily airline status e-mails were not moving out.
• Time converter for pop-ups (e.g. aircraft delivery time estimate) did not take into account the user's time zone (after switch to the new website).
• News of new alliance foundation did not always post to Dashboard.
• Fixed a couple of incorrect page redirects after accepting/declining an alliance invitation (depending on the status of the alliance).
• Alliance Control Panel's application decline reason textbox changed to normal text input (without rows) to prevent submitting the form when pressing 'enter'.
