fixedThere is now a new first person camera controller. The difference is the first person camera controller rotates around the camera center rather than trying to rotate around the thing you are looking at. It also maintains a strictly fixed altitude unless you run the camera into the terrain. The old camera controller is still available in the general settings as "third person."
removedDrones now validate their destination tile and retarget if they are within 10 tiles of their destination. This only applies to go to commands that are going to an area. A tile will trigger a retarget if it is occupied by another drone, if it no longer matches the terrain filter, or if it is no longer the highest/lowest tile in the area (if one of those options is chosen).
fixedFix drones going to a point stored in memory.
fixedFix the "discovered crashed lander" message.
fixedFix a performance issue in saves with lots of actions.
changedPerformance fix when there are lots of drones targeting empty beacons.
