Note: The feature is known to be working properly, but it is advised to test it on your system (invoke Ctrl+Alt+Del menu while USC is running) before relying entirely on it to prevent potential mission progress loss. Any feedback regarding this feature is very welcome!

v0.9.0.3:
ADDED
• "INSPECT" option to DTB Build screen. This allows viewing the actual game map, showing build results in "real time".
• Exiting from the DTB Build screen to the Main Menu (not abandoning!) will now create an autosave named "ExitSave.sav". This one autosave file is used, so please make your own saves with the "Save" button if you want to keep different versions of your progress.
• Game will now automatically create a "victory save" on mission completion with the map name (or seed) included.
• Single Missions: Added option to retain light levels regardless of difficulty for -1000 score.
• detailed skill descriptions to Squad Assembly screen (incl. actual rules).
• tooltip info for map parameters.
• yellow, red and green grid markings to the DTB strategic screen for damaged, breached walls and rad pools.
CHANGED
• Abandoning the base in DTB will mean a 20% score penalty from now on. This is to ensure that--in most cases--completing Wave 10 on a lower difficulty level would still mean more score than "chickening out" after Wave 8 or 9. This certainly does not apply to great differences in difficulty or wave number.
• All languages other than English are now unavailable temporarily (until I catch up with locales).
• Changing audio settings will no longer force/advise a game restart when it is not mandatory.
• Dead worms will no longer possibly leave a rad splat on closed sewer doors (it was unnoticeable and hence annoying).
• Disassembling higher level blueprints will now also earn the low-level crafting material bonus. (Click with RMB on a blueprint on the Squad Assembly screen to disassemble it.)
• Improved clean-up of game resources from memory on exiting the game.
• Instead "Save & Exit", there's now a distinct button for both "Save" and "Main Menu" on the DTB Build screen.
• Monsters can no longer emerge from a sewer on the top of another open sewer door (a rare, but annoying case).
• The game will no longer automatically exit & restart in the Settings menu, it will only prompt you to do so manually.
• There are now two distinct buttons in DTB for cleaning contamination and clearing (demolishing) structures. The latter also costs 25 BP and cleans beforehand, but can be applied even on intact structures now. Cleaning will no longer demolish structures, even for severely breached rooms (unlike before).
• Units can be no longer knocked back onto an open sewer door, instead they will lose APs as they normally would.
• key event capture behavior (fail-safe for key lockups).
FIXED
• Audio settings will now commit as intended.
• Customized logo/portraits will no longer temporarily disappear when (re-)saving a squad.
• DTB status display damage factor computing.
• Floating messages shown on the left edge of the map will now always be properly visible.
• Using a medikit on the unit itself from the inventory toolbar with the main inventory closed will no longer deselect the unit instead.
• Various minor fixes of the new inventory toolbar. None of the known bugs jeopardized gameplay.
• Various minor fixes to Defend the Base! mode.
• a DTB Build bug where Base Points were charged for repair operations on empty areas.
• a bug where items could be put inside non-equipment crate map objects (e.g. databanks).
• a bug where the content of equipment crates was misplaced on the actual map (y:1).
• erratic "Not enough APs!" message when auto-reloading a weapon AND not having APs for attacking after.
• erratic "Not enough Morale!" message when using some items (since added new floating messages).
• outdoor light breach levels for DTB (and all outdoors) maps.
• some items not working from the inventory toolbar if the main inventory was closed.
• using an item from the toolbar highlighting items for pickup on the ground.
