Here are the exact patch notes:
New features

New Map Layers

Bugfixes and improvements
- Sliders and dropdown menus now correctly update when you regenerate the world, showing the proper values that are currently in effect
- Improved the handling of options like bloom, fog, and gamma
- reworked the rock shaders with new textures, and they blend with the ground now for a more organic and realistic look
- Added lava snails to the “Lava Lakes” map layer
- Various shaders have been reworked to improve performance and visual fidelity
