The news is late this week, mostly because a series of computer snafus threw me off track yesterday, and as a result I plain forgot.

509 is really coming along nicely, so soon I'll be looking into that DirectX issue so I can include a distributable with the installer. In the meantime I'm still looking into various issues across the board, and getting into some overdue webclient bling.

I added the statpanel colors to the webclient yesterday, which involved creating a new routine for controls to manipulate a sort of private stylesheet. I want to find more ways of improving style support here.

Doohl reported that the webclient FPS improvement efforts have borne a lot of fruit so far, and those efforts will continue as more data comes in.

Thanks again to DarkCampaigner for setting up the recent BYOND Fund-a-thon, and to others like SilkWizard who made big contributions as well. Thanks everyone who donated or chose to become a Member. If you didn't get in on the event, all new memberships and donations are still greatly appreciated, so I hope everyone who hasn't done so yet will find it in their couch to chip in.

GiaD started this weekend. Get in on it and make something cool!
