From Celeste Wiki
Celeste has had many versions released to it throughout its lifespan. This page will detail each update and the features it contains, in reverse chronological order. Much of this page's content is copy pasted from the official website, but has been organized for ease of reading.
1.3.3.x (beta)
The 1.3.3.x series of updates constitute the current beta versions of Celeste. These haven't been released to general availability yet, but are accessible via Steam.
1.3.3.14
Released January 22, 2021. This is the latest beta version of Celeste.
- No new features; update pushed since "1.3.3.13 was missing some commits".
1.3.3.13
Released January 22, 2021.
- Menu buttons (up, down, left, right, confirm, cancel, pause, journal) must each have 1 button/key bind that is unique among all of the menu buttons. If a rebind would break this rule, it will fail and a sound will play. Duplicate menu binds that do not break this rule are now allowed.
- Updated the bind priority system to work closer to pre-beta
- Removed menu functionality from the Crouch Dash bind. You can now bind menu down + confirm to get that functionality
- Binding menu controls now stay onscreen as you scroll down the menu

Released January 21, 2021.
- Demodash bind is no longer gated behind Cheat Mode
- Fixed demodash button not skipping cutscene from intro vignette in Prologue
- LT no longer hides the pause overlay while in the Options menu or Controls config menus
- Fixed boost bubbles "storing" the last demodash state
- Overhauled the controls system to allow for rebinding of menu controls and gamepad directional inputs (Note: current bindings will be reset to default when first updated)
1.3.3.11
Released January 19, 2021.
- Fixed demodash button not triggering boost bubbles
- Demodash button now selects Retry or Skip Cutscene from the pause menu while paused
- Demodash button is now bindable from the options menu after Cheat Mode has been activated on any savefile
1.3.3.10
Released January 19, 2021.
- Increased Madeline's maximum vertical squish wiggle distance so that all previously-survivable crush scenarios should be survivable again
- Added a bind for demodash to the settings file (you must edit the settings file directly, there is no in-game option)
- Implemented unused Dash Assist aim SFX
1.3.3.9
- Fixed squish correction putting Madeline in the ducking state while climbing
- Fixed squish correction not applying when pushed by fast-moving blocks

1.3.3.7
- Reverted ultra changes to pre-beta

Examples of explosions are bumpers, puffer fish, and respawning seekers. 0.01s is a single frame at 100% game speed, but because explosion impacts freeze the game for 0.1s, this is effectively a 0.1s grace period.
- Fixed the bird in Farewell flinging you a slightly inconsistent distance after a respawn

- Fixed game timer freezing during unpause (this adds 0.15s IGT (9 frames) to each unpause compared to pre-beta)
- Fixed a bug where wall jumps from the right side of walls could sometimes not gain the momentum of the wall
1.3.3.4
- Fixed stray tile in 7B
- Fixed a stray spike in Farewell Determination 1
- Fixed a case where dash corner correction would pop up up above spikes
- Added '--graphics [DRIVER]' and '--disable-lateswaptear' to FNA command-line arguments, which corresponds with FNA3D_FORCE_DRIVER and FNA3D_DISABLE_LATESWAPTEAR respectively
