This new beta brings a lot of new features and bug fixes. We tried our best to incorporate fixes to bugs reported in the forum, as well as implement those suggestions that we could in the time available.
We also split the installers in two: WITH assets (textures, materials, etc.) and WITHOUT assets.
Those of you that already downloaded beta 2 can use the "No Assets" package, but you have to adjust the preferences to point to beta 2 assets, see image below:

DO NOT UNINSTALL BETA 2 AS THIS WILL REMOVE THE ASSETS TOO
Or, if you prefer, copy the assets into a folder of your choice and uninstall beta 2.
