v0.8 - The Bug Massacre

Many hours this month have gone into stability and QoL. Due in large part to our lovely players, I managed to track down and fix literally dozens of issues, putting us on the road to 100% stability which I've always wanted.

Below is a collective list of changes for v0.8 which includes all the recent patches during May and a few other fixes. It's a long one -- nearly 60 entries(!) -- but definitely satisfying!

Another big thank-you to players Samildannach and weinerbutt for their patience in reporting issues and sticking with the game despite them. Without their help I still wouldn't even know about 90% of these!

Consider it proof that you can make a massive difference to small indies like us just by getting involved -- with reviews, bug reports, or even just letting us know that you like what we're doing.
