@tobbi why is there no source tarball for this release? The GitHub one doesn't have the submodules included...

[Semphriss]

It is uploaded now.

So swimming was really surprising for regular player. Ability to swim in cold water seems natural for a penguin. Meanwhile it drastically changes mechanics on good old levels. Seems it is possible to deny swimming on "well known" levels e. g. by reason of bad water (too cold, with sharp shards of ice, poisoned, whatever).

Glad to see the project is active. But also hope to meet a happy end of the story once, after all brand new features.
