2.5.1 Release

Any special options you have enabled in the File menu will need to be reselected after this update, due to a change in how these settings are stored internally.

Also, a new previous_release branch has been added on steam. This will be one version behind the current live release. For instance, with this 2.5.1 release, the previous_release branch has version 2.5.0, but it will update to 2.5.1 when the next version is released. The previous_release branch or the existing development branch can be selected via Properties -> Betas -> Beta Participation.
