Full 1.03 Cahngelog:

Changes:

• In cursor mode (accessible via [TAB], a button was added that allows you to teleport to the shop (by a teleportation rune the player now carries).
• Plant labels are now smaller, so they don’t obscure other labels as much.
• Customers now pay slightly smaller amounts, resulting in less change being returned.
• It’s now possible to sell shelves and flowerpots. Just aim at them and press R to open a popup. If a pot contains a plant or a piece of furniture holds items, it cannot be sold—a popup explains why. These items sell for half their original value.
• Going to sleep now progresses the growth/wilting of plants. It’s a fairly complex system that also takes into account upgrades (such as the cloud that waters plants).
• A vertical scrollbar has been added to the skills screen, allowing navigation on wider screen resolutions. All resolutions should be playable now - if there's still any trouble, please let us know!
• Pressing ESC while using the alchemy table no longer opens the pause menu, but instead causes the player to stop using the table.

Bug Fixes:

• It’s no longer possible to take an item out of a chest when its quantity is set to 0. (sorry folks!)
• Fixed a bug where it was possible to spend 2 skill points on the same skill by clicking the button before the animation finished. This should prevent players from being able to complete the skill tree.
• Fixed a bug that caused the mailbox icon to not always appear when a new letter arrived.
