What's new in the update? Taken from the announcement:

• New all-in-one launcher to play the game, or to access other options!
• DOSBox Staging has replaced DOSBox and DOSBox Daum on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• The game now works on macOS Intel and Apple Silicon.
• Cloud Save support has been added.
• The downloadable demo and the CD demo have been included with the game.
• CPU cycles dropped down to 115,000 to avoid some gameplay problems.
• More free extras have been included in the "Extras" folder.

Pretty great to see developers go back to actual classics like this to give them a little fresh coat of paint, without remaking the entire thing.
