It's been a busy couple of weeks in the real world, but I managed to add a pretty sizeable number of bugfixes. Not much else to say about this update, I'll let the changelog speak for itself. The next update (June 29) will be the last primarily-bugfix-oriented update that I do for the time being. After that, it'll be back to features and content...
