Epic have just released another preview release of Unreal Engine, this time 4.13. Being a preview this release is not meant for production use, so expect the occasional bug and glitch. This preview release consists entirely of bug fixes, there are no no features. There is no forum post about the release this time due to the recent security breach of their forums. The release was instead announced on the Unreal Engine blog, release notes copied below.
