So when will the new achievments actually come? Or is it just Steam delaying them being rolled out?

Ohh and nice patch seems to fix most if not all of the issues Heinlein brought(And make Warp great again!).

No word on the ship prefix bug? :(

What about sector AI enslaving all alien pops as well as gene-modded variants of the primary species regardless of their ethics and/or happiness?

Folks, this is just a hotfix. It's released to fix urgent issues, plus as a bonus whatever other fixes happen to have been committed in the meantime. Gameplay and display issues such as these must await a fully-fledged patch, I'm afraid.

Sure, don't get me wrong, I am very happy to see the improvements, just feel a little sad that most annoying issues from my current game are not on the list.
They are: sectors stealing from player mineral supply, and possibility to declare war vs tributary\thrall subjects without involving overlord in any way.

Praise be the Starfish! Good changes, especially the robot tech colonization UI thingy.

Code: 
#Diplomacy & War
* Reduced the extra warscore cost for taking Capitals

Let's hope that warscore cost thing is enough.

Does this mean 1.4 or what do you mean exactly?

The Sector AI has become significantly worse since 1.3 and you are telling us that we have to wait for a fully-fledged patch to fix that? To wait another few months? To be waiting that long for a major patch, one that will likely add a couple other gamebreaking bugs? Dude, please don't. I don't think anyone who bought the game is OK with a russian roulette system that will introduce new bugs with every major patch that we have to base our entire playstyle around. Fix the things that were broken by the patch and THEN focus on what's next.

If I go hiking and break my leg, I don't continue walking until my other leg is broken too. I get that **** to the nearest hospital immediately and patch it.

Here's a brief list of everything that has gone wrong in 1.3:

-Warscore values are calculated so badly that destroying Spaceports or entire enemy fleets can cause you a Warscore penalty rather than a bonus, f.ex. by losing a few unimportant ships to kill a massive Titan
-Warscore demands are likely bugged currently, making all demands cost twice as much as intended. In many cases you can Cede only a max of 2-3 planets, which the enemy Empire can easily replace within 10 years.
-Endgame crisis events were buffed so severely that in many cases it's an automatic end of the game. The Unbidden reportedly have fleets of 1mil fleet power - which constantly respawn until the portals are taken out. AI empires don't assist intelligently enough to justify this. It forces us to abuse the broken AI to beat the event
-War in Heaven/Awakening of a Fallen Empire has so many issues currently that I'd double the size of this post just to list them all
-Sectors don't prioritize making buildings and upgrading buildings. Sectors don't correctly enslave, and don't correctly assign Pops.
-Integrading a Vassal empire gives you all their ships but no ability to disband them.
-Extra planet resources (minerals/research/power) acquired from a successful anomaly investigation from a science ship disappear when you colonize the same planet.
-Colony builder UI can bug out and require you to spend your influence twice.

This is not a bug report, there's a different topic for that. This is just to highlight many potentially gamebreaking problems that can not wait half a year to be fixed.

Interesting, I wonder what impact that has on the AI trying to attack stations in the early game. Though I have to admit I took advantage of this in the early corvette vs corvette fights.. :)
