[*] Fixed bug making it impossible to unlock "The Sun Is The Future" [*] Recruitment: Changed max value of salary and bonus slider to support new superstar employees. [*] Show daily payment when negotiating ad contracts [*] Added "In stock" value to Production Plans [*] Updated localization files [*] Fixed yet another "Employees not retiring" bug [*] Fixed bug where retirement tax percentage didn't update after transferring. [*] Fixed bug where both main menu and game soundtrack would play simultaneous [*] Fixed issue where "years till retirement" could go into negative [*] Fixed bug where new candidates would contain fire demands right away. [*] Fixed bug making it impossible to upgrade to new office for some old savegames. [*] Fixed error being thrown if employee was fired while having their dialog open.
