+# Any changes you've made.  See valid prefix list above.
+# INDENT WITH TWO SPACES.  NOT TABS.  SPACES.
+# SCREW THIS UP AND IT WON'T WORK.

+changes:
+  - backend: "Added the no loopcheck setting under /world when the compile option FIND_REF_NO_CHECK_TICK is specified."
+  - bugfix: "Moved the compile options out and included them right below the linters in the DME to ensure they are globally defined."
