This update has a lot of improvements, a revised introduction/tutorial quests including a new mini island, and a revised research system. It also includes our first ranged enemy, the Mungus:

I definitely want to make more forward progress in the next update, but I'm pretty pleased with how all these changes turned out. Minor improvements might not seem like much, but they definitely add up!

Changelog

Added Mungus - a new ranged enemy you can tame
Added tech trees to research desk and improved research
Added new tutorial area and improved the intro quests. The tutorial area does spawn in old saves, but you'll need bridges to get there.
Added icon to foods with optional ingredients (so you can tell an apple pie from a blueberry one)
Sunrise/sunset now changes based on time of year - with summer 1 being the longest day, and winter 1 being the shortest
You can now nap for an hour in beds if it's before 10pm to restore 1 energy.
Apples and blueberries now provide energy as optional cooking ingredients (like pies).
Blueberries are now available summer and spring (but grow slower)
Can now transfer items between chests if they are close
Foods now say what flavor they are in the description.
Quest board now shows jobs you posted that NPCs have accepted (and you can cancel them there). It will also list what npcs are considering accepting the job (if it says nobody, then all npcs who could accept the job are busy with other jobs).
You now get bottles back when drinking potions
Some items now float on water - this is important because swampjaws kept leaving stuff stuck in water. Arrows now float too and can be collected
When you complete a quest, it auto-watches the next quest
Can access chests while crafting from further away - and can even access nearby chests when building
NPCs will now help you find other NPCs during the introductions quest
Updated stone pillar graphic (it was a stone wall pillar as a placeholder)
Ice cream now only lasts 1 day, but gives heat resistance - if only there were some way to have some in the summer!
Lots of bugfixes and minor improvements
