-Controls screen listens for pgup/pgdown, scrolls by half-screens so you can see some paired controls better
-Deprecated "custom control" values which are unused inhouse, hopefully unused in mods
-Increment control mapping version, invalidating users' current mapping settings (sorry!)
-When hovering a stackable item over a stack of the same type the hint now says "Put" instead of "Swap" to match the behaviour

Performance

-Set up better timer code for osx and linux
-Lots of GPU / shader optimizations - the game should run better on older cards
-made killer bee brains cheaper

-Fire fighting :o) - Perf improvement with burning trees (lights in general). Light buffer is now quarter res (actually it's fixed res)
-Lua spike prevention - no defered userdata cleanup, timeslicing "built-in"

Misc

-Player character Art is high-res for nicer closeups
