This one is our eighth solely-polish release prior to the next official version, which will be coming out midday tomorrow and dubbed 1.1.  There's at least one more release coming tonight, and possibly two (only two if we break something, though).

This one is smaller in terms of the volume of fixes, but it has some really important ones including several core changes that fix multiple bugs that various people were experiencing.

The reason we're doing such frequent releases the last few days is that we want each change to get the maximum amount of time in the hands of players to make sure that we're hopefully not breaking something right before going into a major release.

Enjoy!

This is a standard update that you can download through the in-game updater itself, if you already have 0.500 or later. When you launch the game, you'll see the notice of the update having been found if you're connected to the Internet at the time.  If you don't have 0.500 or later, you can download that here.

At the risk of being negative- too many patches in quick succession may lead to some folks taking a wait and see attitude before updating... and not giving you the feedback you really desire.

Ye olde law of unintended consequences...

Not around here. If we don't get four updates a day, we send someone to pick poke Chris with a stick and make sure he's breathing.

Edit: (that was an odd typo)

Pretty much. I think we had a stretch like a year ago in AI War where we didn't get a game update for a month, maybe more. Man, people were going through some pretty bad withdrawals. :P

And really, these are BETA updates for a reason. BETA.  Yeah.

We don't generally aim for more than 1 a day, this is just a release-candidate phase which is very fast and furious until we're happy with it :)
