It also includes a lot of rendering optimizations that allowed some balance changes:

Apologies to everyone who waited for the update for too long and hopefully next time the wait will be much shorter!
Endless Night mode is now available
Today's update adds new game mode: Endless Night. In this mode there's no base building or shopping, only brainless zombie-shooting. It's designed as a short distraction so that a single playthrough takes just a couple minutes. There are also three new achievements related to this mode.
Other features included in this update:
More responsive user interface
Keyboard controls mapping
Leaderboard anti-cheat tools
Better multithreading support
Option to adjust amount of blood
Minor bug fixes
While it took quite a long time to release this update, the behind-the-scenes work done will allow future updates to be released more frequently - the next one will be released in few weeks.
