To our fellow community:

Thank you all for keeping this shared adventure alive.

Highlights

• New HDR-bloom postprocessing effect accumulates overlapping effects more naturally and makes intense colors bleed into the surrounding pixels.

• Significant performance improvements across the board, both on servers and clients.
• Many new and improved scripting functions, including support for synchronised audio playback and improvements to the scriptable UI.
