EDIT: Hotfix released to fix bug which causes major slowdown when clicking Release on new software that is being marketed. If you updated before 16:30 GMT today and haven't updated since, please make sure to restart Steam and get the latest patch so that your game doesn't corrupt.
This update has focused mostly on bugs, usability and suggestions.
Next update will focus on optimization and mini games, after that will be the statistics window and bug fixes and then it's on to alpha 8, hopefully.
