Version 0.2 release information

[Marc L.]

I'm making a lot of progress on version 2, much faster than anticipated.

I'm please to announced that V2 should be available near the end of the month, featuring a completely re-designed interface, dynamic map loader module and a much better permissions/security system.

As a result of speeding up this release, support for multiple simultaneous games has been delayed to V3 or V4. I'd like to get the gameplay more fluid and redesign the gui before adding such a big change to the code.

Here is the status of V2 :

- modified player drop down menu, colors are now foreground (easier to read)
- xml based dynamic map loader module (DMLM)
- news system for main homepage
- new user permissions system
- major graphical improvements to main website
- centralized CSS
- fixed corrupted map.jpg file
- fixed log not refreshing in spectator mode
- removed game logging (created too many useless files)

To do :

- user profiles
- link DMLM into actual game
- merge lobby and match window into one window.

This looks awesome!  Keep up the good work!

Due to the fact that paid projects take precedence over the ones I don't get paid to do, expect a few delays on the next version release.

It is almost done, but I have a few other websites to finish first. Expected delay is about a month.

Thanks for your patience.
