This update overhauls the hideworking system mainly, as well as adds many other updates. You can find the patch notes here:

Almost every aspect of the hide working system has been completely redone. Hide stretching and smoking are now passive crafts. There was a great deal of work to this update as there are many unique steps to hide working. The hide stretcher and smoker work similarly like the pottery kiln, and the item help tips for the hide stretcher and smoker give you an explanation of how these items now work.
A couple other notable updates are that more wood spawns on the ground when trees are created for the first time, allowing players to gather the wood they need to start some simple crafts more easily when they start a new character. Also early wood crafts like making a wood spear and sharpened wood have had their crafting quality penalties greatly reduced.
The next plan is to update the Cooking system.
Enjoy!
