+This version is based upon the revision # #### which is found on our SVN.
 
 
-We have fixed some bugs, added some new cards, improved the AI in the draft mode, revised existing quest opponent decks and added new opponents, improved the AI's attacking and blocking code and improved the border around card images displayed in the new GUI battlefield.
+This version includes some new cards, bug fixes and a few new quest opponent decks. The developer mode at the new game window gives us a few new features to this option. These new features will primarily interest the devs as it will now help to test out specific cards while testing combat code changes.
+
+We are working on a new Maven system of building the project and the OS specific archives that we release with each beta. The Maven script will help to automate the process and should require less time to prepare the beta releases.
+
+We have added a new section to the readme.txt file and it states:
+
+"The server which contained the high quality card pictures is now off line and these high quality card pictures are no longer available as a download from within the forge application. We apologize, but the current dev team do not maintain this server and this matter is out of our control.
+
+Some people are choosing to re-download all of the low quality card and card set pictures when they install the next version of forge. This consumes large amounts of bandwidth needlessly.
+
+The server containing the set pictures is limited to 30 gigs per month. At the current rate the server will hit the maximum of 30 gigs per month long before we reach the end of the month. Please be careful!
+
+When you install the new version of forge find the forge/res/pics/ folder. Either move it or copy and paste the pics folder over to the recently installed new version of forge. This way you will only have to download the pictures for the new cards.
+
+This should save enough bandwidth that everyone will be able to download the new set pictures from the cardforge server. We do appreciate your efforts to save bandwidth."
 
 
 I found a utility to remove the hidden Mac-related files. I removed the ".SVN" and the /res/lib/ folders from this archive as they are not needed. We have changed the archiving format to ".tar.bz2" since this may help to store the file permissions for the Mac OS X launcher. There are utilities for Windows, Mac OS and the various *nix's that can be used to decompress these archives.

-- Fixed some ETB destroy cards.
-- Fixed the Pump on Barbed Sliver.

-- Converted Leyline of Singularity to script.
-- Fixed Conversion and Glaciers.

-- Added Coldsnap (CSP/CSP/CSP) to the list of possible block drafts.
-- Experimental: Modified the classification of Snow-Covered lands in the ICE set to be Common. This may not be an accurate classification per magic-cards.info, but it allows Snow-Covered lands to be drafted in CSP/ICE/ICE, CSP/ALL/ICE, and ICE/ICE/ICE block drafts without having to give the player free access to large quantities of snow-covered lands (which would not be authentic either), and there is some information found online that some Ice Age boosters had snow-covered lands printed on Common sheets. If further discussion proves that this is too wrong or is not a good idea, feel free to revert/change as you see fit.

+- "How To Play" is now part of the "Help" menu item. Fixes an issue on OSX.
-- Removed the menu command to download HQ pics since the HQ pics server appears to be offline.
+- Fix "Help" menu in German.
-- Ran set info script.
+- Changed the default of UnlessPlayer to TargetedController.
-- Wistful Thinking should probably have both "SVar:RemAIDeck:True" and "SVar:RemRandomDeck:True" SVars.
+- Ran Set Info script.
-- Fixing SetInfo for Soldevi Heretic and Undergrowth to account for multiple pics.
+- Added Flood counters.
-- Fix for a crash in Coldsnap draft (CSP/CSP/CSP) caused by the absence of standard basic lands in the CSP set (currently the basic lands are added from the 9th Edition core set, the set that was historically current at the moment when Coldsnap was released).

+- Fixed Nightcreep to use SP$AnimateAll.
-- Fixed the token image name for Gelatinous Genesis.
+- Updated SVar for Nightcreep.
-- A better and more universal fix for sets with no basic lands crashing after the draft is over. I added the fifth parameter to the set info in SetInfoUtil which defines where to take the basic lands from, the early sets which had no basic lands in them, such as Legends, will use the core set which was historically the latest at the moment of the set release; also, the Coldsnap draft will still use the 9th Edition lands since 9ED was the closest to Coldsnap.
+- Updated Starting Quest Pool to have more cards.

+- Ran Set Info script.
-- Added a "Setup Battlefield" menu item to the Developer menu, currently doing nothing - to be expanded later for use to set up the battlefield for my AI experiments and improvement project.

-- [WIP] More updates to the Setup Battlefield dev command, now allows to set specific cards for the human and AI hand, set up the specific human and AI life, and place specific cards on the battlefield. Not finished yet, does not yet register the cards on the battlefield properly for some reason. Will be fixed and updated ASAP.
+- Converted Mirror Entity to AF_AnimateAll.

+- Small tweak in AF_Choose.
+- Proper fix for drafting sets since the externalized set data.
+- Ran Set Info script.
+- Allowed the AI to play sorceries without PlayMain1 SVar in Main1 (timing should be handled by canPlayAI in the AF's).
+- Added AF_Unpump for things like "target creature loses flying until end of turn". I will be tweaking the AI today.
