v0.5.3

This patch resolves a critical issue which could cause user's save data to become corrupted. It is recommended that users switch to this version immediately and avoid using version 0.5.2.

Fixed

• Fixed a critical issue in which the Stage Editor theme value could not be parsed by older versions of the game, resulting in all save data being destroyed.
  • Added a check that prevents save data from being loaded if it is corrupted rather than overriding it.
• optionsChartEditor.chartEditorLiveInputStyle in the save data converted from an Enum to a String to fix save data compatibility issues.
• optionsStageEditor.theme in the save data converted from an Enum to a String to fix save data compatibility issues.
  • In the future, Enum values should not be used in order to prevent incompatibilities caused by introducing new types to the save data that older versions cannot parse.
• Fixed an issue where some publicly distributed release builds of the game were not updated to the latest version.

EDIT: This update got uploaded on October 18th but I didn't push it to the public branch until today, d'oh!
