Hotfix:

Unlocking and selecting Valkyrie no longer crashes RPGGrowth.

First off, an announcement:

Rylasasin (who had previously contributed) has been added as a dev and will be maintaining this mod in the future, as the original author no longer has the time nor energy to do so.
For those familiar with the 'Rylasasin Fork', those changes have been merged (minus the GiC stuff. See below.) For those not familiar, they will be listed below.
For the foreseeable future, efforts will be spent on improving what is already here instead of adding new major things (like Specs.) We apologize to those that were looking forward to the Pilot/Thief/Etc specs,
but that simply will not happen in the forseeable future.

Finally, we must announce removal of GiC support. They wish for a Standalone experience, and we will respect that. Plus it will allow us to concentrate efforts on compatibility with other mods (Arcana, Maple32, Starforge, etc) and on things of greater priorities (such as upgrade chips).
We appreciate your understanding.

Now for the meat and potatoes of this update.

Mechanics:
* Mechanist can now be unlocked (faster) by killing Frackin, Shellguard, FFS/DaE, Arcana, and Maple32 robots. Defeating robot bosses from these mods vastly helps. Mechanist Fortify covers these too.

* Valkyrie can now use shortspears.

* Most Specializations no longer have stat requirements. They looked good on paper before skills were a thing, but no one likes them now so they're gone. Those that still have them are halved.

* Specializations are unlockable at level 25 instead of 35.

* Affinities can be upgraded at level 35 instead of 45.

* True Aegis perfect block window increased to 0.5 seconds instead of 0.2

Techs
* Shadow Step: When used, a black puff of smoke now hides your escape (it's purely visual/flavor, the smoke itself does nothing.)

Compatibility:
* As mentioned, GiC compat is now canned. Partially due to the wishes of the GiC community, and partially due to us not wanting to maintain it come GiC 4.0.

* Swansong now drops XP

* Return to Earth bosses and monsters drop EXP

* Arcana support

* Maple32 support

* Kitsunebn and Lucario's Aura are now always usable with all classes in classic (all races for now but that might change to just Kitsune and Lucario respectively in the future)

Chips

Six new weapon chips for specialization weapons.

* Omniapressure: Omniathrower upgrade. Increases range and knockback at the expense of effect duration.

* Omniapalm: Omniathrower upgrade. Leaves sticky projectiles on surfaces and has increased effect duration at the cost of direct damage.

* Nebula: Orbital upgrade. Orbitals can phase through walls, Non-prime orbital range reduced.

* High Orbit: Orbital upgrade. Range of orbitals. Prime orbitals gain seeking ability. Can no longer bounce off walls or pierce.

* Great Wall: True Aegis upgrade. Increases shield health, and allows any block to charge shield, at the cost of removing perfect blocking (and any other associated bonuses) and per second shield power decay.

* Parry This!: True Aegis upgrade. A high-risk, high-reward upgrade that Increases the max power and length of beam and amount gained by perfect blocking, at the cost of reduced perfect blocking window and 99% reduction to shield health.

Changed to Keybinds.lua 1.3.5 to prevent incompatibility with StarExtensions.

Reverted to Keybinds.lua 1.3.0 to fix jump techs. Will look into the cause for the actual break later.

Updated Mitsuno's Nuke a bit, and replaced Keybinds.lua with a more recent version of the same thing to prevent incompatibilities.
