If you are done feasting your eyes on the new visuals, you may read the full patchnotes below (including comparison screenshots).
Visuals:

- new visuals for the "colored shields"
- new decoration elements (Trees, lamps, catwalks, etc.)

User Interface:
- removed the old UI
- added the UI from "ReThink | Evolved"
- merged manual and automatic savegames into one window
- replaced the tutorial information
Gameplay:
- removed the boxes that contained the "relays"
- added spawn-areas for the cubes
- Room 008 and 037 changed a bit, but not too much.
Story:
- reworked one ending
- added personal notes that have been left behind by other inmates
Savegames:
- broke savegames (the old savegames do not work anymore)
- fixed savegames
I will provide Savegames for all rooms when the patch goes live!
Performance:
- reduced game size to ~800 MBs (from ~1 GB)
- Performance for "Low -> Epic" is either the same or better as before
- "Overkill" requires a 1080 for 1080p (worst case, especially Room 009)
*There currently is no AMD Graphics card able to handle "Overkill" (as of 05.31.2017), Wait for Vega!
*Overkill is meant for High End PCs and the future, not for current mid-range graphics cards!
The cake is a lie:
- it's not
