TLDR:

A TON of performance improvementss and crashes fixed. A brand new attribute system, where items have requirements to use such as Constitution or Magic levels. These attributes also grant permanent upgrades to your character. The menu is in the inventory.

A large rework to the mutations system, where mutations are unlocked at a campfire and require items to unlock.

New visual and sound improvements.

Food system slightly overhauled. Now certain foods give effects for their duration, and most foods give less hearts.

FINALLY, there is a new button in the inventory: a guidebook replacing the crafting guide. This feature is WIP but for new players is a good place to learn to start!

Live and Drink, Survivors!
