v0.9.0

Note

After releasing this version, I realized that I had made an oversight (involving file paths to the location json files) that breaks backwards-compatibility with save files from v0.8.0. If you're not bringing save files from v0.8.0 to v0.9.0 (which I expect is true for everyone), then you will be fine.
