Foundry Virtual Tabletop - Version 13 - Stable 3 Release Notes

Release Notes for Foundry Virtual Tabletop Version 13 Stable 3 as shown with Demon Queen Awakens
Foundry VTT Version 13 Stable 3, as shown with the Demon Queen Awakens adventure, now on sale and a V13 feature update expected on May 25th.

As our five year anniversary and celebration approaches, many exciting things are happening in Foundry-world including:

Today's Version 13 Stable 3 release is a bit more practical but equally exciting! Our goal for this release was to include as many "low-hanging fruit" type bug fixes and improvements as possible, and the dev team delivered with a bushel of over 120 improvements.
