===v0.1.32 - 08/12/2011 14:21===

Added:

• Added a "Message of the Day" which is shown the first time that a player enters a zone in that particular client session.

• Avatar changes should now be saved immediately from within the lobby, without the need to enter a zone.
• Open loot container dialogues now automatically close when the player moves outside of interaction range.

Fixed:

• The transition between avatar changes now occurs when the new avatar has finished loading, so players will no longer flicker in and out of existence.
• The medieval world minimap now accurately reflects the present state of the zone.
• The context-sensitive cursors now feature an arrow to make them more pointer-like, when in full replacement mode.
• Fixed a potential bug with destroying audio sources when changing scenes.

Known issues:

• Colourable avatars appear white and corrupted on mac standalone, and mac webplayer.
• The minimap uses an old world design and is somewhat out-of-date.
• If a player uses Alt+Enter to toggle windowed mode, the video options menu will not be correctly updated to reflect this.
• During zone loading, if all nearby assets have finished loading before all server messages have been processed, the loading bar will only get to halfway then jump straight into the game.
• Clicking repeatedly and rapidly on a target will cause multiple target rings to be spawned on them, which persist even when they are de-targeted.
• If the player takes a hostile action after their PVP-flag button has been re-enabled, the button will remain enabled but will not work until another period of combat-free time has elapsed.
• Dragged items will occasionally stick to the cursor instead of being dropped.
• NPCs and other players are visible through billboarded trees.
• Chat box selection is a bit wayward on lower resolutions.
• Dead reckoning is jittery.
• Mac water shader is broken after Unity 3.4.
• When the UI is scaled down, tooltips will occasionally 'bump' into false screen edges.

Added:

• Improved the medieval starting village scenery.
