Welcome to Early Access Update 28! ːhappychappyː
The old Beta build is now considered stable enough to be promoted to the Default Release Build.
The new Beta build has a new audio library, which has resulted in a change to ALL THE THINGS - the things in this case being the audio files which have been reformatted from floating 32-bit OGG to 16-bit WAV, so the game engine doesn't have to do the conversion itself. Batching conversion was infinitley preferable to manually changing volume levels on all normalized audio. This has led to a rather larger update than usual which should weigh in at around 330mb.
