A bugfix release for a few minor bugs that plagued the first release:

• Fall back to to the swarm data directory when a run file is not found (#730)
  • This bug caused the move tutorial to be unplayable because it tried to execute run "data/scenarios/Tutorials/move_system.sw"
• Fix version check when there is no GitInfo (#729)
  • This bug caused the game to always report that there was a new version available even when you already had the latest (and only!) version.
