Hey Alpha Bees!

What was a quick little bunch of bug fixes turned into a lot more bug fixes, and then a bunch of performance changes, and then while I was there of course I had to add in some new "overview" pages to the books and... you get the idea.

The performance stuff was pretty substantial, if your computer struggled before, or slowed down when streaming, this update should improve things massively!



I've uncapped the visual FPS meter from maxing at 60 as I've been using it to test performance - try not to read too much into it though, if it's under 30 we have an issue, otherwise don't worry too much if you go from like 200 - 150 randomly, it'll jump around a lot (which is why the average number is next to it)
