If you've installed the 1.4.00 release, this update fixes a handful of bugs. No major feature updates or changes.
One of the biggest fixes here is for a crash that often happened after or during long sessions of node editing, often using break apart, or deleting nodes. If you have experienced this, we strongly recommend this update. We have also "back dated" this update, so anyone who was able to use 1.4.01 to 1.4.04 will also be able to install this one.
Here's a list of what's changed:

- Bugfix: 'Increment by' for variable text in radial array wasn't being picked up when changed
- Bugfix: Nasty crash in break / break apart / convert to path interaction, often triggered when node editing
- Bugfix: Exported SVG shapes are now sorted into layer order
