Call for testers: v1.61
Version 1.61 brings in a bunch of refinements and features - chief among them 2D head-turning, improved navigation of direct-controlled menus, and performance enhancements.
The performance boost should improve startup times a little - particularly on mobile. However, because it's achieved with a re-write of how AC tracks scene objects, I'll need some testers to put it through its paces before an official release.
If interested, please post a reply. Thanks for reading.

Current changelog:
Upgrade notes
- When left-clicking a Hotspot with no Use interactions in Context Sensitive mode, the Player will move to the Hotspot's "Walk-to Marker" if one is defined

- Calling StateHandler's GatherObjects function is no longer necessary after adding or removing objects from the scene via custom script
- Added: Independent head-turning for 2D characters
- Added: Sprites Unity-animated characters can opt to have their head animations played on a separate layer, allowing for independent moving and talking
- Added: Ability to snap "Facing angle" parameter for Sprites Unity Complex characters to the nearest 45 or 90 degrees

@Mehrdad: No, this is the 2D equivalent of the head-turning feature that is already available in 3D. It means you can have a 2D character face Hotspots with their head automatically, or any given character through the Character: Face object Action.
