I'll keep it brief this time, and let the release notes speak for themselves.  Losts of visual refinement in the HUD in particular, which touches pretty much all parts of the game.  The other changes to things like the objective text and the before-level window also add some oft-requested enhancements and clarity/polish to the game.

Our submission to PAX 10 likely won't be until midday on Tuesday the 15th, since we're trying to pack in a last set of polish items on Monday the 14th, while also making sure we have enough bugtesting time that we don't break something important in the process of all our fixes.

Great new release The game really looks professional now.

PS. The issue I had with phrasing resulting from my localization of windows is now gone.

Thanks! And there's still more polish to come, too.

Glad that fix for the animation worked!
