-The world map has been updated to have a border and scrolling clouds.  It also now has flashing markers for the current/incomplete levels, to make them substantially more obvious.

-There are now two different buttons for FF -- one for regular FF and one for Ultra FF.  These buttons are now smaller and shown directly to the top right of the well.  In the case of multi-well play, these buttons are shown for each well and the mouse/keyboard are only allowed to control the FF/UFF buttons associated with their respective wells.

-The background for items in the item palette is now much more attractive and fits with the other nearby buttons.

- The game now has an initial progress bar when first loading the game, and then also now has more graceful transitions between scenes once the game has been loaded.

Oops, thanks, fixed the title. :)

The full news posts, etc, are forthcoming, I did a full refresh of the installers for this, so that takes forever to upload.  But the updater has been active for a few hours now.

Updates in 0.408:

- There was a bug in 0.407 preventing new players from doing much aside from updating the game (this is a beta, but we try not to let stuff like that slip through).  The update is a quick one, though, if you already have the game, and we're in the process of updating the installers to 0.408 to prevent anyone new from having that issue.
