After way too much time I can finally announce a large update covering various fields, including graphics, sounds and performance. A rewrite and extension of half the codebase now allows for easier and more frequent updates, with some cool new stuff planed in subsequent versions.

• Torches get destroyed in water
• Reworked recipes for the ring, bow and arrows
• Tin arrows
• Added ash as fertilizer
• Safe
• Leave blocks
• Basalt, slate and pebble
• Yellow colored blocks
• And probably a lot of smaller improvements I forgot about

The more technical stuff:

• Rewrote and cleaned up major parts of the code
• Improved render scheduler and light engine performance

• New font engine and support for most glyphs
• Overhauled foliage system
• Decreased server latency and improved sync performance
