I'm excited to see life on/in these boards again, thanks Sven!

I see there's been progress on the development version, but I'm not able to get GOG Galaxy working reliably on my linux setup. Will there be any standalone installers, or strictly Galaxy? I'm itching to see the evolution....

Unfortunately GOG doesn't generate offline installers for alternate branches (nor preserve them for old versions). This is a GOG problem that we're all (GOG users) regularly asking for them to alter. There are a bunch of items in the community wishlist for the site asking for these.

It's MOSTLY UX changes. A little bit of balance changes (I couldn't point where), and a bugfix (I forget which, but it wasn't a show-stopper). Sven could probably tell you more.

Thanks, emky! I'll go ahead my +1 to the wishlist items I find.
Regardless, I'm still thrilled to see the life in SiS.
