Components with an empty text prop would render it as true instead of showing blank
An error would show some times if a component had multiple spaces on its class property
Character history from save files with an old format was not being transformed to the new format and made an error occur when trying to load it
Character history files src property was not being changed to use the assets directory instead of the old ones and caused the files not to load correctly

Update Guide

This guide only applies for games that were written using the 2.0.0.alpha.3 version or above.

On the options.js file, almost at the beginning of the file you should find this line:

const { Monogatari: monogatari } = Monogatari;

Replace it with this:

const monogatari  = Monogatari.default;

Finally, as always, just copy the contents inside the engine/core/ directory from the new release to the one you are using.
