Version 1.6.1 has been released.

Another big change is that there's a new VR step rotation method. Some people have trouble making step rotation work on non-Vive controllers, since clicking with sticks can be harder than with pads. The new method is called "View." If you look left or right and then pull the run hand trigger, you'll rotate that direction in 30 degree steps. Hopefully this will be easier on all controllers.
