Greetings!
The v1.33 patch has been posted:

The patch is a few days early - so I don't quite have the next Balance Mod version ready yet. Hopefully tonight I will have it ready to go. Your v1.03/1.04 copies will cry about missing entries in settings.txt when you load the mod - you can get around that by adding the new fields from the standard settings.txt to the mod's settings.txt - I believe they're just entries regarding UI element colours.
