This is the meaty 4.6.0 part of things above, finally solving their art permissions issue at long last.   

- 11 new music soundtracks for each special level!
- 2 bonus Character Points on character generation
- No website popup at program shutdown
- You get a special donators icon on your online highscore
- 7 new monsters that you cannot encounter in the Basic version
(more to be added)
- Donators get special priority in bugfixes and feature requests
- You get to support further game development!
- If enough people support the game the adverticements on the homepage
will be removed

While those are the current benefits of the Extended version on top.   Cost seems to be $10 USD, though they need to fix their order page to display in English as I got German without an option to switch unless I missed the button somehow.
