Stardew Valley Dev Tracker

Hello everyone,

The 1.6.15 patch is now available. This fixes a few lingering issues in Stardew Valley, balances some things, and adds some quality of life improvements. To new and seasoned players alike, I hope you are enjoying Stardew Valley.

(for people with mods, please be aware there are several "beta" branches available which can help you ease into the new update. For example, there is a previous_version branch which is set to 1.6.14, as well as a few other version targets.)

1.6.15 Patch Notes:

## Balance changes
- Legendary fish ponds now produce roe much more often and have a higher average daily value.

## Quality of life changes
- Performance optimizations.
- Added the Junimo bundle button to fridge and mini-fridge UIs.
- Fixed debris able to spread under giant crops.
- Fixed bad-word filtering added to some extra text boxes in 1.6. Those are now only filtered on platforms that require it, as originally intended.... Read more
