This update has been about simplification. I realised that One Million Worlds was simply too complicated for players to actually play (I think I’ve known that for a while but wasn’t sure what to do about it) and this update looks to improve that situation. That means the same machines should be buildable but One Million Worlds will take on the hard work of wiring them up "right"
The simplification features in this release are:

Thrusters no longer need to be connected to wires to work, simply putting them in a machines, sit in a command chair and press the WSAD keys and the game will figure out for itself which keys to fire to move the ship. See more details at this article
Similar to thrusters, energy projectors that are autocontrolled without wires, just pressing the space bar will fire them
Omni directional energy projectors will auto target hostile mobs/machines without needing wiring
An Anti Grav block is now all that's needed for a ship, stabilisation is automatically provided (meaning the stabilisation block has been removed from the game)
Other features in this release:

The intro has been improved to showcase the new simplified ship building
Gantry crane room has been simplified by popular demand
Flowing water sources
General bug fixes and performance improvements

For a long time I've tried to keep save games compatible between versions. This has largely worked, but has had "consequences". This is a big bang fully incompatible update where I eliminate all of those consequences before returning to attempting to maintain compatibility. To an end user the main benefit is that save game loading should be faster, but it unlocks a lot of other stuff as well and hopefully should enable faster updates.
If you have saves you want to continue playing you can stay on version 0.7 by changing your steam branch to legacy_0.7. You should also be able to switch back and forth between old and new.
In addition to this arguably anti feature the following is in 0.8:

Efficiency work, especially for large (400 meter+) render distances
Render distances above 400 meters (only for machines with large RAM)
Underground mushroom farms
Efficiency improvements for drops
New type of AI ship; order missile cruisers
Trolls; a large type of mob

Version 0.6 The UI Update
Version 0.6 was planned to be the storyline update, but it turns out creating storyline elements takes ages, and you end up creating a bunch of other content as you go along. So while I continue working on the storyline features I’m releasing an assortment of random other stuff I
