+==== Getting Started ====
-**Version 0.37-b1 (beta)** — Released June 28, 2026
-This update refreshes the Streamworks integration under the hood and renames the **Build ship** action to **Buy ship** to better reflect what it does. The window has been redesigned with more space and a clearer layout for faster ship comparison and purchasing.
-Highlights:
-  * **Streamworks integration updated** — improved stability and performance behind the scenes
-  * **Build ship → Buy ship** — renamed to better reflect the action; the window got more room and a cleaner layout
-  * **Beta warning** — saves from v0.37-b1 may not be backward compatible; back up your save before testing
-**Beta:** This build is available on the beta branch and may change before the public release.

+==== Latest Update ====
+===== Latest Public Release =====
+**Version 0.42** — Released August 5, 2026
+Update 0.42 introduces a three-layer protection system on ships and stations, procedural NPC loadouts, armed sector stations, and a unified red enemy indicator in sector map and minimap.
+Highlights:
+  * **Three-layer protection system** — Damage now hits shield, then armor, then hull on ships and stations
+  * **Procedural NPC loadouts** — Hand-crafted NPC ship prefabs replaced by hull templates plus danger-level-driven, energetically valid slot loadouts
+  * **Armed sector stations** — The 11 normal and 7 exotic inhabited sector stations become independent combat prefabs that fight pirates autonomously
+  * **Unified red enemy indicator** — Hostile ships and stations are marked in red across object list, minimap, sector map, and world name
