-This version is primarily a maintenance release. We have a few new cards, bug fixes, tweaks and some AI improvements. We suggest that everyone should update to this version.
 
-Some performance changes were made to Forge and it should now operate more quickly on low end machines. Mid to high level machines are unlikely to notice as much of a performance increase. We tried to hunt down all of the bugs that resulted from these changes but there may still be a bug or two in this beta release.
-
-Development efforts continue but have slowed down as a result of the summer months. One of the devs is in the process of moving and this will have an impact on beta and snapshot release for a number of weeks.
-
-The release date for version 1.2.12 will likely be late August or sometime in the month of September. Snapshot builds will likely be unavailable until sometime after the 1.2.12 beta release. We apologize for the inconvenience.
-
-It seems like the front face of double faced cards aren't triggering properly, but the back face and single faced cards are.
-
-Selecting a package of cards in the quest mode card shop will now once again display the packages in the card picture panel. The list of card names in the prebuilt decks are not displayed in the card detail panel at this time.

 A recent contribution to the code base should fix some of the bugs that people noticed with cloning type abilities. At this time there are two remaining issues that we hope will be addressed in the near future.
 
 1. Leave play triggers don't work correct for clones.
