Full release notes:
http://www.arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Tidalis_-_0.990_Beta_ReleaseThis version has been dubbed "release candidate 1." The expectation is that there will be one more release after this one, and that will probably then be our "official release" version. But we'll see how things go.
This version has a lot of goodies in it, including the new PDF game manual, polished cutscenes, ranked boards, Steamworks compatibility for Windows (but you need to wait until this comes out on Friday on Steam to make use of it), and a number of tweaks and fixes. Our known issues list is at practically zero, and there are no known issues with the networking components of the game at this time.
Very close to the end! We are indeed excited.
And any help anyone cares to provide with beta testing is much appreciated!
