As always, the Unity Asset Store version might take a few days to be processed and accepted by Unity. Please check for updates in 2 - 4 days.
This release is a maintenance release as announced here:
As the project got more mature the Entitas repository not only contained the ECS core but also a few other modules like Logging, Serialization, Networking, Code Generator, Common Utils and more. The goal of this refactoring was to extract reusable modules and increase the focus of the Entitas repository on ECS. Reusable modules have been successfully extracted to their own standalone projects. Overall, with the increased focus that is achieved by having standalone projects I expect the quality to raise, too. This is generally the case when you have reusable code that is battle tested in multiple different scenarios.
As mentioned in #508 those projects all have the DesperateDevs namespace. You maybe already know about Desperate Devs because of the new YouTube channel where I will upload more and more Video on ECS, best practices and Software Architecture. Subscribe if you don't want to miss future videos.

As a result of this refactoring I was able to remove a lot of noise from the Entitas repository and I could easily fix platform depended bugs without any distraction.
Entitas will benefit from having the Desperate Devs dependencies as it enforces modularity and reusability. Additionally, it will be possible to use awesome tools like TCPezy (DesperateDev.Networking) and Jenny (DesperateDevs.CodeGeneration) independently.
