It is time for the May 2024 Stable Update. The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors continues to improve tModLoader.

Mod makers can look forward to the new features of [url=https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/whats-new/csharp-12]C# 12[/url] and [url=https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/whats-new/dotnet-8/overview]Dotnet 8[/url].
