This release is hopefully more stable than 0.43.05-alpha1. There have been some structure fixes, including one that was causing an exportlegends crash. Also, Ruby should work on all platforms and architectures now. This has not been tested as extensively, so please pay special attention to any problems you find with Ruby scripts and report them.
Update: there is a fairly common Ruby crash on 64-bit Windows. Also, Stonesense is not included.
