I don't know. On balance it seems like more content was removed/locked away than was added. It might take a couple more updates before that situation is corrected, and meanwhile the same story territory is being iterated over for about the sixth time. It's getting a little old. And it's hard to see how there's any benefit to endlessly improving the framework to accelerate the addition of new content, when "new" is just reworked old content and people commenting on outfits. The new story direction is probably good. It's just disappointing at this stage.
Maybe there's some brand new content locked out by bugs, but, from a cursory glance at the unpacked archive, it doesn't look like there's much I'm missing. Are the new CGs all just intro images of characters standing in front of the desk or bending over in front of it, or did I miss the mass of them that was alluded to in the update notes?
The menus are nicer, and the UI improvements are quite welcome.
What was the baseline for performance improvement? I played around with a snapshot of the Git repo a few weeks ago, and different aspects of the game performed about as well as they usually did. In this beta, I thought the game had crashed when I went into Malkin's store, it took so long to iterate through all the clothing and build the menu. The game seemed to get slower as I played as well. I don't know if it's possible to introduce leaks or collector issues with Ren'py, but something's up there.
