Here is the list of major changes:

Finished and improved the new Factions window. You can find it in the skills window, last tab. The faction scores for your character are not updated yet, and will be loaded in the next days.
The new factions window contains all new symbols (Dark Way is bugged as its black on black background... will be fixed).
Factions scores are now split between reputation and title. Reputation represents how much that faction likes you and is eager to speak, trade or give you access to special locations. Titles are acquired by completing faction quests and raising up in their hierarchy.
When your faction rating changes, we now update the client properly.

Added the first set of special attacks based on weapon types. Example if you have rank 10 or more in Sword, you will get a special attack called Side Slash. You can see all the special attacks (and special abilities) in the skills window.
While in combat mode (press tab) if you have equipped a weapon with special attacks, you can now press Q for the primary weapon and E for the secondary weapon, to display and select the special attacks. To use the special attack you then just click with your mouse, ensuring you have a target under the crosshair.
Added combat mode attack scroll keys to key mappings.

New Sarraghi Dsar added to Ojaveda, it's a completely new area, with new buildings.
Added new Ojaveda Buildings: granary, water tank, windmill.
Added new Ojaveda banners with symbols for the packs.

First version of Raurim village, it is a Dermorian village with new type of houses and a very large tree. It's unfinished, will be improved in the next release. You can find it north of Ojaveda.

Changed the setup of lights in the game. The result should be more vivid colors and shadows. The dark shadow patches appearing randomly are now fixed. We can have more realistic looking dark areas.
Updated many levels with new lights to use the new light setup, including guildhouses. There is a known bug in Ojaveda at night, the light is not correct.
Improved light for day and night cycle.
