The 1.4.11 update is now live! While this is mostly a maintenance update, there are a few notable things going on.

100% Linux

Linux users now have full online feature parity, which mostly means connections work properly when joining and hosting (for NAT traversal and/or relay servers). Also, a nasty black-screen bug for some Linux distributions when running in fullscreen is fixed. Thanks to all the Linux users for your patience, bug reports, and log files which helped tremendously!

Online sync fixes

Many positional and synchronization issues have been fixed when playing online, and this is especially noticeable at higher lag values. The last patch introduced a regression which unfortunately affected a lot of this, so it's all good now.

Bot improvements

The AI has been improved in many areas for bot traversal, navigation maps and pathfinding, decision making, and specific ability rules. Their development is an organic process, however, so I hope to continue to improve them with each future patch. Here's the full changelog:
