Changelog:

Days per month
You can now choose up to 8 days per month and old save files that worked in the last update should still work properly in this update. Note that you can't change this during a game, you have to decide how long you want a month to be when you start a new game. Please post in the forums if you find that something is unbalanced when playing anything other than 1 day per month.

Employees getting stuck
The pathfinding system has been fixed. So employees will no longer get stuck for no reason, so if your employees are still getting stuck, you probably forgot to add a door or an elevator somewhere.

Corrupted save files
A lot of bugs have been fixed in the load mechanism, so if you have some corrupted save files, they probably work now.

Localization
Fixed some errors in the localization files, e.g. delay and alpha being switched. For translators: Each update will add a new tag to the bottom of the UI.xml file with the name of the alpha version in which new translations have been introduced. So you can just copy these xml tags to the bottom of the XML files you have now and everything should be accounted for.
