yay, an update!
guide -> side chars throws an error, though (Exception: Grid not completely full.)
debug it yourself, too lazy to take a look ;)
it self-healed...
loading a save created in 0.60 has no exception in side chars, the one I created yesterday after playing everything added in 0.61 display the menu fine, too.
looks like it was something [weird/unexpeced/caused by stellar radiation] somewhere between the two snapshots, and I see no good way to reproduce it.
sorry for the unnecessary report :/
