NEW: Backstab and dropkill prompt will now inform you about the lethality of your weapon's attack.
Haven't seen those prompts in action yet due to the patch likely becoming available on Monday at the earliest (it's the weekend after all) but any chance you could make the prompts optional?

Maybe that's just me but I like having to rely on guessing or estimating the mentioned window of opportunity without any visual indicators telling me when a backstab or dropkill is possible.

@JanIMGN
Just to be sure that reporting bugs or making suggestions on the gog forum for SEVEN is not for naught and nothing - you do check the appropriate threads (gog.com/forum/seven_the_days_long_gone/bugs_glitches_oddities resp. gog.com/forum/seven_the_days_long_gone/suggestions_proposed_improvements) on here too from time to time, right?

JanIMGN: FIX: "Poor Sister Of Mine" - fix for sister not leaving home after destroying all mines.
This one is odd. This quest worked for me back in launch version, but on my second play, in 1.05 version, it does not work.

I'm sure it is 1.05 cause I can see backstab indicators (btw. they are cool, although I still have to find out how to tell if I can "one shot" with backstab or not).

=== EDIT ===

Now this was an odd experience...

I just started the game and did another quest (the one with hidden notes with numbers) and found out that a mine (in town, from yet another quest) that I disarmed long time ago, is active again. Oddly, I could not disarm it so I just walk on it and - lucky - survived. That gave me an idea that maybe I won't disarm mines in "sister" quest, just explode them. I went there, but on my way I realized that is futile cause I disarmed all mines already.
Now imagine my surprise when, while passing by the "sisters" house with detection mode on, I got message that mines were found. What's more, I got those messages twice (two times for each of 5 mines = 10 times total).
Mines looked like I did not found them earlier, with exclamation mark over them so I decided to give them a try and try to disarm them again.
It took 2 disarm attempts to disarm each mine - just like it would be somehow connected with the number of times message about finding them showed up - and... the quest was successfully finished!

Now I'm sitting in front of my screen with my jaw dropped.

I have no idea about the game inner workings, but my current experience is that there is something very wrong with the way game is finding some quest objects. This or it is somehow related with how long the game is running in one session.

I say that cause this reminded me that I had a similar problem with the quest to retrieve visa from hangar. I checked each container at least 4 times and there was no visa in or it was not possible to interact with it. Then, after taking a brake and re-starting the game, the container with visa was active and had a visa in it.

Sounds familiar:
The second bug involves a couple of possibly infinitely respawning shredder traps inside Kaitlin and Colm's hideout in Lewmer. I definitely remember disarming one trap in the spot shown in the first screenshot during my initial sweep of all of Lewmer's abodes, dwellings and shacks. A few in-game days later, while doing another sweep of the area via Sense mode I noticed the sound indicating the discovery of a trap going off 5 times, curiously enough in the exact same spot.

Went over to the place to have a look and, to my surprise, found the previously picked clean spot occupied by no less than 5 shredder traps (all in the same place) again.
The reason I believe this to be occurring in possibly infinite regular intervalls is the fact that I already disarmed and picked up the same 5 shredder traps earlier for the first time. The linked screenshots are actually showing the (as of now) second time those 5 shredder traps have been respawned.

Not so sure if the devs are aware of this though. From the looks of it, they strongly favor the forum on the other platform for compiling bug reports and getting feedback on things.

kudos to the devs for such promptness with the GOG updates and dedication to keeping people informed in the subforum

I don't even have the game (but I've been following it for years), but this is great to see on here and it definitely restores some goodwill that was lost due to pre-order exclusive stuff

JanIMGN: PERFORMANCE:
Day and night system will no longer cast shadows during the night.
couldn't this be an option? light sources at night would cast different shadows than the sun, and would be very interesting, and makes sense to have (especially in a stealth game where the shadow of a building cast from a streetlight can add additional cover, etc.)
