 0.4.30 (in development)
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Improved: [#24912] Staff now use an appropriate standing animation while waiting at level crossings.
+- Improved: [#25515] Path dragging can now be disabled via multiplayer group permissions.
 - Improved: [#25529] The map selection grid no longer redraws every frame if it has not changed.
 - Improved: [#25530] Wall dragging can now be cancelled without closing the Scenery window.
 - Improved: [#25575] Updated the network protocol to a new format that supports larger packets, allowing clients to connect reliably to servers with many objects or large maps.
