Prestige feels less punishing.
Chance purchases and leftover currency now survive era converts, so Tokens / Caps / etc. keep dropping after you prestige. First Power upgrades are cheaper so the new era actually speeds you up. Older saves stuck with Chance at 0 get a small rescue on load.
Permanent Auto-Loop is now a tier 2 upgrade.
One purchase, permanent auto-loop, and it stays through later prestiges.
Shift-click buy max now works on every shop tab, not just Performance.
Convert confirmation pop-up now lists what will reset and what you keep. (Including if there is a node-wipe).
Pacing has been adjusted to be less punishing.
Currencies now no longer cap at 1.84e19.
Game will now create a backup of your latest save whenever a patch releases. In case there are issues, patches need to be rolled back, or other situations. Just a precaution to ensure no players lose their progress due to a patch. These are also uploaded to Steam Cloud.
These backups will be stored in your SavesDir folder, and named saveData_patch_{versionNo}.bak.json.
To restore your data, make a duplicate of the relevant patch backup, delete/rename the existing saveData.json file, and then rename your duplicate backup file to "saveData"
Balancing is a major concern of mine right now, so any and all feedback relating to the pacing is greatly appreciated.
