Update v2025.5
---------------------

NEW FEATURES:

- DECO EDITOR UPGRADE

  - Eg. place bridges, buildings, hills, trees, etc. then create a track over/under, around or through those objects
  - as before, Deco placement & editing can still be done after a track is created or loaded
 - Save & Load Deco Files
  - Deco can now be saved to separate Deco files for re-loading later or for sharing (even if it's already part of a track)
  - Track Deco is still always saved with a track but can now also be saved separately
  - Deco files can only load if there is no Deco currently in the game world
  - Track loading is disabled if Deco is currently in the game world

- REALTIME SPLIT DELTAS
 - the 'delta' time to a player's personal best lap (PB) and the current session's fastest lap (FL) are now on display and updated at each checkpoint (and the finish line)

 - also includes coloured up/down arrows for checking deltas at a glance

 - ability to type in a lap time and splits to act as a target lap (fastest lap)

- REVERSE DIRECTION MODE
-- with the click of a button any track can be instantly run in the reverse direction
-- the same button will instantly un-reverse the track again
-- you can save the reversed version as a new track if you wish

- RACING HUD FIX
-- new button and hotkey added to bring back the Racing HUD when it disappears (caused by TM subtle messages bug)
-- the hotkey is the "back quote" (`) which on a US keyboard is the same key as the tilde key (~)

FIXES & OTHER CHANGES:

-- general bug fixes

- improved custom object texture
