New patch in publicbeta (v124)
This is primarily a quick patch to fix some bugs people have reported, but it also adds one sort-of new feature - the number of fences you can queue up while building has been increased to 32 (it used to be 8). It also makes them passable while under construction, i.e. you can walk through them, so you can't use it as an exploit, which was the original reason the limit was so low.
Ultimately the goal is to be able to queue up different types of buildings, so you could queue up some fencing and a gate and a shack or suchlike in one go and then leave them to it - this is just a stepping stone to that.
Here's the change list:
EDIT - I've released another quick patch with a few more things, after someone reported a crash. So it's now v125:

v125 will be in the "publicbeta" branch for a while, before pushing it to the main game. If you want to try the latest features as they come out (and help test them!) it's a good idea to start using this branch. But keep in mind:

Here's the change list:
- Fix to make it possible for modders to add bows
- Increased maximum number of fences builders can queue up, made props under construction only become obstacles when resources start being used in them
- Fix for community buildings being deleted after a dead community is re-occupied, and then that community also dies
- Fix for rabbits and zombies saying 'hey!' when you throw a snowball at them
- Fix for crash after using a mod with a story that contain the same asset bundle
- Updated Chinese translation

- Because it's the bleeding edge it could be less stable
- If you want to be able to play online co-op with someone you'll need to be on the same version as them
- If you go back from the "publicbeta" branch to the main branch you may not be able to load savegames created on "publicbeta".
