It's a start. Just log in to download it. Hopefully they'll keep going in this direction:

Features

* Display part statistics when you are in Build mode. Rollover any part and hold down the 'i' key.
* New Cheat: "blocksmode". Turns creatures into their blocky representations.
* More style filters. Open the cheat window and type: "stylefilter -microscope" or "stylefilter -norainbows" or "stylefilter -nextgen" to see the new styles
* Added 70 new planet scripts with a low terraform score, especially of the "hot and high atmosphere" type

Graphics/Aesthetics

* Animation improvements
* Improved the planets fogging, blooming and lighting
* Fixed animation issues with tool handling, hand walking and some of the more oddly shaped creatures

* Creature phase: Improved the pacing towards the end of the game, and increased the challenge in Normal and Hard modes.
* Tribe phase: Increased the challenge in Normal and Hard difficulty modes.
* Civilization phase: Increased the challenge in Normal and Hard difficulty modes.
* Space phase: Made Empires in Easy and Normal modes demand reasonable amounts of money in exchange for peace and adjust the level of punishment if the player doesn't pay
* Space phase: Made disasters less likely to occur in Easy and Normal modes and increased the time between each attack from the enemy empire when the player is at war.

Miscellaneous

* Creature phase: Improved the way posse members behave during threatening situations and fights.
* Space phase: Made finding your home world and colonies easier in the Galactic view.

* Fixed some issues where the game would freeze when using the Creature Tweaker tool or when capturing a planet in solar view
* Fixed an issue where not all tribe members would obey the raid order when a large group was ordered to raid
* Fixed an issue where banning a creation from one of your other saved games would black out the main menu
 
I got to the tribal phase last night and my guys refuse to move. They just sit there with question marks above their heads. I give them orders, like pick fruit, and it takes them 30 - 60 seconds to do it. Then my chieftan starved to death because he wouldn't go eat like I told him to 50 times.

Fucking awesome game. Doesn't look like this patch fixes jack shit.
 
looks like they are addressing some of the issues i was having. cool.

i like the game. i think the space part is a lot of fun.
 
In space at the moment.. it's good, but the pirate raids shit me. When my lone spaceship can cruise in and decimate an entire fleet in seconds, surely my civilization is capable of building a couple of smaller ones to do that on their own, without me having to haul ass from the other side of the galaxy to fire a couple of goddamn missiles??

Thing that's got me worried is that apparently even with the 'uber turret' planetary defence, you still need to go to the planet for it to work, which to me entirely defeats the purpose of an automated defence system.
