The patch is ready, has been going through testing for some time now and we're waiting for QA to release it. Should be any day now.
The list of improvements is quite impressive I think, and we'll be releasing an entire list when the patch is out. In a nutshell: lots of UI improvements, different difficulty levels, extra graphics settings to increase the quality (significantly) a bunch of graphic improvements (e.g. swimming, animation speeds,...), a high-res texture pack, a number of optimisations, and of course a number of bugfixes.
But what's about savegames compatibility between 1.01 and 1.02 patches? Do I need to start a new game after installation of the patch?
P.S. Yeh, I know, english-hacked version is not supported but will be there an English strings in upcoming patch by chance? :P
