Official Patch notes for the new update being pushed out today.
We have not written a DevLog for it right now as we will be pushing out a series of updates each 2-days or so this coming week, so will write a DevLog explaining them all in details over the coming weekend.

-Settings Menu layout has been improved a bit more
-Some settings has been changed to match new Rendering System
-Added setting to Mute Character Voice/Response sound
-Change minimum/maximum allowed character size
-Character can now be resized by just hovering the mouse over it and using
MouseWheel (scroll)
-Minor Texture/Quality improvements for some characters
-Motion Animation is now enabled by default
