Ahoy, mateys!
Today's patch adds a complete rework of the zone transition system. Now you may find an exit circle at the beginning of most maps, so that you may return to the previous level. The state of the map is saved on exit and loaded on reentry. This feature is currently only supported in singleplayer, but some maps have received special backtracking support, so that you may turn back even when the previous map has no saved data. Selecting a zone from the menu resets the entire world state.
But that's not all!
