Description
Release v1.5 was the seventeenth update to be released on Tower Defense Simulator, on the 24th of December 2019. This update is notable for bringing the Christmas 2019 Event, the fourth event in Tower Defense Simulator.
As with most updates before the Solar Eclipse Event, there was no official name for updates. As a result, the name Release v1.5 has been retroactively applied to this update. However, since this update brought the Christmas 2019 Event, it can also be called, Christmas 2019 Update.
This version encompassed five updates, the main Release v1.5.0 update (released 24 December 2019) and four minor updates, the Release v1.5.0a (released the same day as Release v1.5.0, 24 December 2019), the Release v1.5.0b (released 25 December 2019), the Release v1.5.0c (released 28 December 2019), and the Release v1.5.1 (released 1 January 2020).
