We had quite a lot of crashes related to the blueprint library tooltip, but it helped us to finally fix a rare bug by exposing it more offensively.
The script failed to login to forums, so I'm making the post manually.

Minor Features

• Added ability to set a maximum number of map upload slots for multiplayer servers. Setting this is recommended to prevent the server from being flooded with map fragment requests from clients.

Optimisations

• Optimized alt-mode icon background rendering. more

Bugfixes

• Fixed that cut tool marked trees/rocks/cliffs for deconstruction when there was other valid entity in the selection. more
• Fixed that movement by keys or clicking on an alert didn't unsnap the currently followed train in the map. (69199) more
• Fixed that the game would crash when showing blueprint library tooltips. more
• Fixed that the game would crash when showing a blueprint library tooltip in multiplayer when the blueprint/book was removed by another player.
• Fixed alt-mode icon background for narrow icons was be very subtle. more

You can get experimental releases by selecting the 'experimental' beta branch under Factorio's properties in Steam.

Thank you!

It looks like this post isn't pinned as an announcement, perhaps because you made it instead of FactorioBot?

Just updated the game to .29, restarted and got asked whether to update .30.

Loading the login page for me is also really slow for a few days now. Might be related / not sure if anyone brought that up yet? (I kind of assume someone must have by now, but just to make sure)
