 - Feature: Ion cannon mod integration  
 - Fixed: Player region scan can no longer overlap passive map scan causing double processing  
+- Tweak: Setting group disown distance back to the default of 10 from 5  
+- Tweak: Increased group late unit threshold from 80 to 360 ticks  
 - Tweak: Increased rally cry chance from 0.02(@100 evo) to 0.08(@100 evo) compensate for the once per logic cycle per chunk  
 - Improvement: Changed biter base detection from slow map scan to event  
 - Improvement: Added negative score contribution to nest causing biters to move around nests instead of through  
 - Improvement: Increased player pheromone for weight multipler from 25 to 50 for hunting parties  
+- Optimization: Reduced max number of active squads from 40 to 30, reducing large lag spikes  
 - Optimization: Player region scan can no longer overlap passive map scan causing double processing  
 - Optimization: Short circuit rally cry search if not enough points to make a squad  
 - Optimization: Short circuit vengence squad search if not enough points to make a squad
