This update enables mods to be used with the network lobby. Another important new feature is that coastal seas will freeze when it gets cold, possibly enabling you to reach some island during the winter. Mods can now contain custom maps, making it possible to upload map packs to the steam workshop. As usual there are also a bunch of new minor features and bug fixes.
