This is mostly a bug fix release for stability
- Throughout The Ages should work again, it would crash on making the initial workstation due to a module dependency issue (wrong version used - didn't have our updated math lib set right)
- Pathfinding was broken, leading to some other big stuff not working. Quirky logistics issue caused it to be built funny. #1558
- Lots of updates and some fixes to JoshariasSurvival - even more and a demo video coming soon!
- Light & Shadow has some new blocks like banners, activity there is picking up at last :-)
- Swimming is a little less obnoxious now
- Game shouldn't crash if run from a directory with special characters in the path. #1540, #1310, #1162
- Various other fixes, refactoring, and tweaks like an option to run the game without sound enabled (for systems with broken sound or headless servers where that option is on by default)
