This is a mostly a modernization update, it fixes some bugs and makes sure the game runs well on modern systems. The largest change is for Macs where new M1+ Macs are now required to run the game by default. Users with older Macs can still run it via wine/crossover or by opting in to the legacy private beta in steam (password: legacylegacy), that will remain on version 5.30.
