*Continental competitions load regardless of the leagues selected (except European ones - still only load with a European league).
*Manage any team, regardless of whether their league has been selected.

*Regens from smaller nations will now regenerate at younger (normal) ages.
*Regens won't be promoted at AI clubs with 45+ players, in an attempt to keep the transfer market fluid when playing with a max database. There should be fewer AI clubs with 50 player squads, most of which are average regens (thanks xeno!).

*Rename v1.41 included.
*Round names updated for various competitions (including three new names: Round of 64/32/16).
*USA: MLS clubs now named correctly.
Known issues:
*Argentine Cup: The History never seemed to "stick" when I entered it in the editor and then moved the club_comp_history.dat file to another computer, so it's blank for now.
*Background hiring: human managers need to move a league into the foreground before applying for a job (or else you never get them from my brief testing).
*Competition histories duplicated for various years in the English Premier League (and one year in the Olympics). This is only a cosmetic error, it won't affect gameplay.
*Euro 2020: hosting is a bit messed up: whoever hosts Euro 2024 will be shown as hosting Euro 2020 when teams qualify for it in news items. Seeing as Euro 2020 doesn't really have a host IRL (I suppose Engand at a push) I'm not too bothered about it.
*French Championnat National: still has 20 clubs - two just play no fixtures (La Châtaigneraie & Orvault SF).
*French Coupe de la Ligue: two Ligue 1 sides don't enter in the first season.
