At long last...

Though we expect several smaller updates in the next couple of weeks, this oft-delayed relelase is the last major major release before we begin open beta.  Don't forget to update with Audolo -- major changes, so expect to wait a while.   Special thanks in this release for the hard work of Fizzbang, cptoad, Revelation, and Alban -- between them they supplied (or fixed)  25 of the 30 new areas that we're bringing online with this release.

Full release notes below. 

General

• Every area should now have a proper name that shows up in the minimap dialog, in the format of Major Area - Sub Area - Sub Sub Area with "major area" being minimal information. For example: "Gesel - Core - Hall of Justice" or "Solan Village - Julie's Hearth" .
  
• Area lighting settings are final. If there are issues with lighting, report them as bugs from this point forwardd.
  
• Point lights are final
• All areas except City Core are to be considered in a mostly final state, so if any issues are seen make sure to report them. This includes:
  
• area lighting
• point lights
  
• music
  
• audio effects
• ambient sound
• sound volumes
• A separate music download will be made available shortly.  Don't check music until you have it...
