v0.9 Beta 1

A curated changelog will follow for the release of 0.9. In the meantime, GitHub provides us with an auto-generated changelog. As the tracks still need to be updated this release only includes tutorials.

The biggest new features are an in-game editor, new signals, backwards driving, high-scores, new tutorials, a rail map, new languages, improved mod support, controller support, improved UI, and more. There have been a ton of bug fixes, too.

Edit: repackaged Linux version with tar.gz to preserve executable flag.
