[Tyron]

Dear Homesteaders
v1.15.8, a stable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager.

[Edit:] Also released v1.15.9 to fix a creative mode crash.

Alright, the rc.1 seems to have produce no new issues, so seems stable enough! The stable build contains a few more valuable bugfixes. Thanks for your continuous help with bug reporting and translating, dear community!

The game is now running at a steady 60 FPS on High with all the latest tweaks. Love to see it.

Definitely far smoother for me too, on a less than optimal PC - Xeon E5-1650v2, GTX 980Ti. Great work Tyron and team.
