Quick Answer
Fourth 0.5.0 beta build. Adds Champion Mastery, where every player has per-champion mastery values and receives stat bonuses from them; improves Composition Test so tactics can be configured; and adds Deathmatch, a new-game-only mode where the team with more kills within the time limit wins. As a beta it can be unstable, Mods may not work, and saves may be incompatible until the official build updates.
