-===== Migration Notes =====
-==== New mod.json ====
-In order to only load mods when enabled, Foundation will now need a new description file for each mod. It will declare all the things Foundation would need to know about the mod without parsing the lua file.
-<file json mod.json>
+===== Changelog =====
-{
+See in [[changelog#Foundation 1.5.0.1218|Changelog]].
-	"Name": "Simple Example Mod",
-	"Author": "Leo",
-	"Description": "A very simple mod example",
-	"Version": "2.0.0",
-	"AdditionalLanguageList": [
-		{
-			"Name": "Klingon",
-			"Code": "tlh"
-		}
-	]
-}
-</file>
-==== createMod() function is simplified ====
-Since the new ''mod.json'' file already contains all basic information about the mod, the ''foundation.createMod()'' function does not take any parameter anymore.
-<file lua mod.lua>
-local myMod = foundation.createMod()
-</file>
-==== GENERAL_DATA asset type has been removed ====
-''GENERAL_DATA'' asset type has been removed and all its properties has been moved to ''BALANCING''.
-However, modders can now partially override Foundation main balancing (''DEFAULT_BALANCING''), instead of being forced to replace all balancing properties. see [[preview:asset-override|Asset override]] for more information.
