This patch prepares the game for the upcoming Rogue's Tale - The Hoard DLC that should be available on February 20, 2020 if everything works out.

There's a lot of changes to the game but most of them are not clearly visible as they are either bug fixes or minor adjustments such as item price changes. Some of the quality of life changes are easier to see such as quest icons that make it easier to see which quest is selected without having to read a wall of text. Event and quest bosses have visible health bars now without having to look at them.

Some game mechanics have also changed such as elemental damage caused by some creatures and they hit a little harder now. There was a bug that made their attacks ignore base damage gained from abilities and talents.

So, about the DLC.

Rogue's Tale - The Hoard DLC is the first expansion to the game and it adds up to five stash boxes (36 tiles per box) to store loot in. Two of the boxes are unlocked after saving Leo Noerde (most players have done it already) and three of the boxes are unlocked after dealing with the three new quest/event bosses named after the three players that found game breaking bugs during the 2.0 beta.

There's also bunch of other stuff besides the stash boxes but the main focus is on the boxes and tearing those bosses a new one. You will see that they are quite hard, especially when trying to complete the challenges linked to them, but I'm sure that 0.1% of the player base don't mind about that...
