Now, you might be wondering: "What happened to 0.55n? Well, you see I simply forgot that 0.55n was a closed beta for the forward+ renderer, and figured the next version was o. I only just now realized this but the build is live and I do not want to reupload with the version changed by one letter.
Added a new experimental setting: Forward+ light rendering, an optimization leading to better GPU utilization and reduced power usage around light sources. We recommend players with lower framerates and laptops enable it. As this is a big change to how we handle rendering, this option will remain opt-in until we have determined that there are no visual errors.
