And here are the patch notes!

Hello everyone!

Today we're introducing some performance improvements, some new items and some bug fixes!

[h2]New Content:[/h2]

[h3]Tallow Candles:[/h3]
You can now make candles with fat and twine. They last considerably longer than torches and are relatively cheap to make.

[h3]Soap:[/h3]
Soap and Lye have also made a return. You can make lye by boiling ash water and use it to craft soap. Soap is a very efficient way to wash yourself and a pretty good disinfectant.

[h3]Salves:[/h3]
You can now also make salves (Healing and Soothing), which are stronger than ointments, but are crafted using fat.


And now to the patch notes proper:

[h2]Version EA_0.29:[/h2]

Performance Improvements (ticks in the late game should have significantly less lag).
Added Tallow Candles, Lye, Soap, Healing and Soothing Salves (as well as their art) and the Tallow Crafts quest for the Quest Mode.
Improved the birch sap system to make the creation of syrup and wine more realitic.
Fixed a bug which sometimes prevent players from chopping a log into Pieces.
Fixed a bug which was preventing the Tar from heating inside Campfires and Ovens.
Fixed another bug which would spawn a duplicate Waterfall at Greenfalls.
Gathering Mud from the Pond now completes Basic Pottery "Gather Mud" subquest.
Killing a Wolf using a Log Trap now properly reduces Wolf population.
Fixed a bug which allowed the player to place more Log Chairs in Mudhut than intended.
Snow inside liquid containers will now melt if put inside a warmed up Kiln.
Various text and Art fixes.

That's all for now!
See you on the next announcement. :)
