The next patch, v1.0.8m, is now in public beta! Available on Steam for Windows and MacOS. Instructions for opting into public beta at bottom of this post.
This beta IS compatible with the last patch, 1.0.8l. You can do multiplayer games with players who have 1.0.8l, and you can switch back to 1.0.8l anytime and your game files will not break.
BETA 1
IMPROVEMENTS:
* Adjusted mate behavior so they won't eat small carcasses at the den if they are already full (Hunger meter is 100% or higher).
* Reduced major injury stamina penalty to -5, to avoid infinite stamina issue on wolf with all possible negative stamina modifers.
* Reduced volume of eating audio a bit.
* Reduced rim lighting on wolf fur (looks a bit velvety in some areas).
BUGS FIXED:
* In non-Story multiplayer games, problems ensue if a player with Good Memory joins the game.
* DLC wolf 1091 "Mouse" has thin white line on cheek.
* Corneal Edema effect disappears when wolf is panting.

BETA 2
IMPROVEMENTS:
* Building Character DLC: You can now assign eye customizations to grown-up playable pups. (Sorry about that, was an oversight.)
* Modest increase in odds of coyote raids on den. Please F11 and send reports about it.
BUGS FIXED:
* Building Character DLC: When Short Tail and Cut Off Tail are selected, tail movement is a bit slinky, especially in the main menu.
* Wolves don't close their eyes when they die.
* Thin white lines on some wolf coats.
* Game can lock up in rare situations where multiple tutorial tips are triggered simultaneously.
