Version 2.0.0

This update represents a major refactor of Coroner's codebase.

Added

• Added new causes of death for version 50.
• Added new causes of death for version 55/56.
• Added a cause of death specifically for dying of falling in pits in the facility.
• Split up causes of death for coworkers murdering with different weapons into different types (for example, Stop Signs vs Knives).
• Added a documented Coroner.API class to make it easy for mods to add their own integrations.
  • NOTE: This feature is not currently 100% complete as mods cannot display their own custom causes of death right now.
• Added a test language which displays generic death messages for debugging purposes.

Changed

• Replaced LC_API with StaticNetcodeLib for more reliable, less bloated networking that doesn't depend on an outdated library.

Fixed

• Fixed a bug where leaving the game before the Performance Report and then joining a new lobby would not clear causes of death, resulting in incorrect causes of death being displayed later.

Known Issues

• Coroner may sometimes fail to distinguish between the driver and passenger of the Company Cruiser.
• Languages other than English may be missing causes of death, they should fall back to English if one is missing.
