This release does not introduce any major features, but does help address a number of problems. A number of optimizations were made to both the client and server, which should improve performance when large numbers of players are present, permitting us to serve more users with less server hardware. Several database issues have been resolved, but some still remain. The "/ping" command is now available at the console, displaying the min, max, and average ping to the server. The flag is now automatically dropped if carried too far from the center of the sector. Some support for foreign keyboards has been added (please test and give feedback on the messageboard). Many bugs fixed, other minor changes.
The potential for some inventory loss, when changing sectors, still remains. This will be addressed in the next version.
