SteveL has improved Dmap (map compiling) performance dramatically by removing logspam and decoupling vsync
SteveL has created an new quicksave system that alternates between files to prevent corruption caused by poor OS file handling.

Rebb has fixed Ambient shading on rotated models
grayman has repaired the savegame crash caused by card players.
Agent Jones has fixed a few stability issues with the Mission Downloader

grayman expanded the space allotted to the current mission name to accommodate longer names.

charisma and the Darkfate community provided a Russian translation of the main menu (and have mission translations)
