This is mostly a maintenance update with a bunch of quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes, but there is also a whole new map thanks to a community Cartographer. Enjoy the new Cerebrus map: Chaos Pit. There is so much in development for the game at the moment, and it's extremely difficult to refrain from spilling the beans on everything. You can trust me that there will be some big announcements in the coming months!
