Version 0.8.2 is up now on Steam. The changelist for the build is below, but the main features of the build are the significantly reduced network bandwidth usage in the Coop Multiplayer and the addition of Arena traps and Logic Timers in the Level Editor.
Patch Info
While there is still work to be done, the improvements to multiplayer should mean you'll have a much better experience getting coop games working well. The required upload speed when hosting should be around 1/5 of what it was in previous builds. The general experience should be smoother for clients now with other improvements and changes such as how knocked down ragdolls behave. A variety of multiplayer bugs and missing elements have also been fixed.
The Arena traps can now be placed in Level Editor levels and their properties modified to make them pressure plate or timing based as well as setting their active and inactive times. They can also be triggered by logic props and zones. There is now a new logic prop, the Logic Timer, which allows you to toggle the state of logic props at set timing intervals such as triggering spike traps repeatedly or making lights flicker.
Other notable fixes include blood decals now working across entire level editor levels and a fix for some save issues with new levels from the last update.
