This new update has been created to improve reefing performance. In the current release it can be difficult to get the mainsail tight when it is being held down by the reefing lines, which can cause problems with the Reefing tutorial in particular.
I would very much appreciate feedback - please report any issues or confirm the improvement (hopefully!)
Thank you to steveelliott4646 for reporting the issue.
