And here is a summary of the patch notes, for full details join us on discord.

• Released the new tutorial, if you go to Learn from the main menu there are now two parts. The 2nd part teaches fienting, riposting, kicking, comboing, kiai, dodge, etc.
  
• Redid the look and feel of the beginnings map
  
• Tweaked many of the animations to look nicer and to make the swing sweet spots more consistent
  
• Improved the way the AI handles non 1v1 scenarios. It is more aggressive about engaging opponents who are fighting someone else.
  
• Added client side prediction and ping normalization to the combo window
  
• Made it so you can't combo off of handle hits
  
• Made it so the flinch animation doesn't trigger if you get hit while riposting
  
• Added keybinds for all attack directions in settings -> controls -> keys. Note that the first time you set them up, it will mess up your existing bindings, after than it should be fine (sorry about that)
  
• Fixed a pretty a bug with the hit detection that would occur in rare cases where your opponent was blocking the wrong way and you hit them near their sword.
  
• Fixed a bug with the Initiate Duelist achievement, it now works.
  
• Added a setting to change the transparency of the crosshair
  
• Added an indicator that shows when you can riposte so you can see exactly when the riposte window times out.
  
• Fixed a bug where when the AI would swing and hit a door rather than the player it would get confused and stop fighting
  
• Added a /ping command to the chat that will show your ping
