Patch 1.14.15 and Development Patch 1.15.8

Just in time for Christmas, we're releasing two patches, one regular and one to the beta channel! The former includes mostly small changes and bugfixes, while the latter includes more significant developments. Chief among those is Apple Silicon support! Note this is only available on the beta channel release, and (especially given how new the platform is), we would appreciate reports of any issues Mac players have with this new patch. Happy (late) Hanukkah, and Merry (early) Christmas! [hr][/hr]
