This is the new version for the game, it adds a lot of new features over the previous 3.1.10c version and there are a number of new slaves (mostly work in progress/alpha versions)
The major new feature is the ability to customise your Slave Maker, using a points system to buy race, background, advantages and statistics
One other significant change is the addition of Freelancer Slave Makers. These buy a slave personally, train them and then sell to a buyer. A different training mode but similar.
Before anyone asks, there are still a lot of story and events not yet in the game for a number of the backgrounds and advantages, but all basic game mechanics are in place. More will be added in later releases.
The last major feature for the release is XML based slaves. There are 3 such slaves (all new for this release)
Mihoshi from Tenchi Muyo
Mai Shiranui (adapted from the last release)
Princess Daisy (developed by Gadansk)
There is no Flash based coding for these slaves, just editing images and creating an xml file. The are fairly vanilla but Mihoshi has some special events.
There is also a related XML based event system to allow quick and easy addition of new events into the game. There are many new events added with the system (including some new from the alpha releases)
There are some additional slaves, most publicly released previously

Other Notes:
1) there have been problems is development of this version with upgrading save games. If you have a save you have spent a lot of time an effort in creating I suggest
a) before upgrading , load it and save to a new slot. Do not load/save it with the new version
b) use the original save with the new version but if there are problems you still have the original backed up, and can use it once any issues are fixed
2) An update for the SDK, detailing the new XML system and other features will follow soon.
3) From the alpha version there have also been changes to the events system. In the alpha the game tried to show all events once randomly then all events randomly. This caused some issues for people 'save scumming' and other confusions so I have removed this change
