First time ever we are releasing this report two weeks after the previous one was released. We have released two public test updates (0.8.4.13 and 0.8.4.14) since then with plenty of fixes, additions, and tweaks. The most significant one is the added option for dynamic sun when starting a new game or changing the settings for existing game.
