Release 11.296

WARNING: Be certain to carefully back up any critical user data before installing this update.

We are excited to announce the beginning of our Feature Testing phase with the release of Foundry Virtual Tabletop Version 11 Testing 1. As we shift our focus from API development to more user-facing features, we look forward to seeing more users checking out some of the great things we've been working on! All through Version 11 we have been working toward the goal of improving the user experience on our setup screen, offering improved compendium functionality by updating our database engine and providing a new level of organization through compendium folders, completely overhauling how synthetic actors work, and a whole new tier of canvas-focused changes bringing overall improved performance.

WARNING: Releases on the Testing channel have the potential to introduce bugs that may be disruptive to play. These features are close to a stable release - but likely to still include some bugs and incompatibilities which may frustrate you. While these releases are intended for testing by the average user, we do not recommend you use them yet in your long running campaigns. We instead ask you try them out in a new World or one-shot with no modules.

Known Issues

Our initial implementation of the news section may initially display an error message indicating that "No content recommendations were received from the foundryvtt.com webserver". This seems to primarily occur on first launch, but is resolved after further launches. We are aware of this issue and will refine this experience in the next release.
