Update 0.4.9 (Difficulty Update, introducing the beta branch, June 2 )

We are pushing the new changes to the beta branch only for now.
The current version is very stable already and we would like to test new updates with a smaller amount of people from now on, before pushing to the default branch.
Should be only a few days though!
You can try the new changes by right clicking the game in your library, selecting properties, betas tab, and selectting "beta-unstable".

From the reports I can see that many of you are still playing 0.4.4. please update your game version!
