This is the second bug-fix release since the February release. The most notable bug that made it into previous bug fix release was a save compatibility issue where the game did not allow the player to load saves from the previous version (the player could circumvent the bug by force loading the save, by holding down Ctrl-key when clicking Load).
Another notable fix is the loud white noise-bug, that some have encountered.
For those playing a localized non-English version, we have identified and fixed hundreds of broken strings in the following languages: Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR), Chinese (zh), Czech (cs), Danish (da), Dutch (nl) French (fr), German (de), Hungarian (hu), Italian (it), Polish (pl), Portuguese (pt), Russian (ru), Spanish (es), and Swedish (sv). Unfortunately, the fix also accidentally marked all languages as translated, over on the transifex project page. This will be addressed shortly.
After this release, we will return our focus on merging new features. Brave pilots daring bugs while enjoying latest new features are encouraged to keep an eye on master branch, and report any encountered bugs.
