As always, we roll out the update on the opt-in beta branch, keep it there for a couple of days to make sure nothing explodes, and then move it to the default branch for everyone to have.
For details on enabling the beta, please visit http://steamcommunity.com/app/367450/discussions/0/535152276589799186/
Important!
The default control scheme has changed! You can view and change the controls in the Options menu at any time.
Toggle Simulation = Space Bar Toggle Tool Wheel = T
New Features
Hydraulic Controller: Allows you to set how far a hydraulic piston compresses or expands
Steam Cloud: All save files are now using Steam Cloud so they are shared across devices
Customizable Keys: You can now customize your own key mapping
In-range Joints Visualizer: You can now see which joints will be in-range of a newly created joint at the current mouse position
Bug Fixes
Level loading transition bug (aka: double-level bug), which would also cause the UI to disappear
Under-budget levels not marked correctly in some cases
Under-water exploit (sorry, no more driving under water!)
Static Joints move exploit
Infinity road exploit
Save files sometimes not working
Improvements
Joint Stress colors improved, now using HSV and not RGB
Ability to delete save files
GIF replays now look much nicer (if you have anti-aliasing enabled)

Early Access Update #1 (Build 0.69b)
We had a few bug reports come in, in particular a critical bug that meant one of the levels in Ancient Ruins could not be solved (20m Cross Jump).
That's been fixed, along with a few other UI related issues.
And we're live!
Exciting times for fans of physics and building games! We've just released Poly Bridge onto Early Access!
The current version features 3 world with over 36 levels in Campaign mode, Sandbox, Steam Workshop integration, GIF replay sharing, and of course more content, levels and features will be regularly rolled out during July!
So what are you waiting for, go build some bridges!
