New Lyra Update - Release Notes?

After spending multiple hours downloading and recreating successive CitySample and Lyra projects, I decided to make a python script to generate a sha256 hash of every file in the project and compare them between the two folders.

Turns out that the only file that changed, in both of the last two updates, was Config\DefaultGame.ini

And the only change in that .ini, for CitySample, was the ProjectID (D2D226324FA85168829F4C8F6CBB3500 → 5A2AD75445AB4822D0D840BA9E08EED4)

The epic launcher’s patcher should probably be a bit more intelligent, to not require users to download and regenerate 100GB of tens of thousands of files, to update a line in an .ini file.

Key takeaway for me is it’s probably best to just not take any updates for these projects unless a specific change is called out as having been made
