Here's another regularly scheduled Thrive release. We talked about including binding agents in this release, but sadly the pull request for them (#1868) was not finished in time. Instead the plan is now to release 0.5.3.1 (https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive/milestone/19) immediately once binding agents are done, along with whatever other changes that have been done by that point.
