Patch notes in the guides now run through v1.12 (17 October): Story / Normal / Hardcore difficulty, three save slots with Steam Cloud, potion quickslots and the dungeon performance fix (v1.07–v1.11) — plus amulets, the game's first randomized loot, dropping from chests with better rates in safe and treasure rooms and better stats deeper down. Armor sets and the Infusion system are announced for one larger update before the end of the year.
