- Nova will shatter a Spinning clone

Haven't tried v1.30 yet (can't until much later today), but the last time it was brought up I don't remember any vote of confidence for having this. I trust that this is only an option like super-mold?

It's tied to the Shatter Doppel option so it's on by default. Thus far it's played out as a fair trade but feedback is welcome. You have to use a sabotage clone more wisely now, or you can lose it.

I never voiced my vote on this issue, but I was in slight support of this (assuming it only shatters a single spinner nearby, not all spinners) for making having a single sabotage clone less overpowered, even thought it's a somewhat counterintuitive behaviour. Thinking of the scenario of trying to get over a blocker by spinning over it (I remember it from Scorch), I'm not too sure anymore though. So null-vote from me, as before.
Sabotage and overpowered reminds me, we should use Super-mold more often.

And many thanks for implementing the Lemmings assignment scheme that quickly!

Yeah, if it is too drastic of a gameplay/strategy change then it will become it's own option. Super-mold turned out good, it is barely noticeable most of the time.

- Game fonts now sharper at higher resolutions

Well, that was quite noticeable I have to say. The new fonts certainly do look higher-resolution, but I have to say the style of the new fonts just seem less fun than the old ones. Also, in some places the text looks "thinner" (in terms of the weight of the fontface) and therefore slightly less clear to my eyes (but still fairly readable).

I wouldn't have changed the font, but if this means the difference between no eyestrain now vs eyestrain before to someone, I guess it's alright.

We can thicken the font a bit globally perhaps. The main reason for the font change was to support a multilanguage character set.
