• August 12th - Zone New Inventory

We have added a new inventory using GUI controls. It can easier be navigated with mouse (left click for S weapon, right click for D weapon), but still works the same like the old inventory when controlled with keyboard. It offers more space for new weapons and its look can easily be customized using the new v5 GUI styles.

• The game window is bigger, we removed the clouds-header
• The tournament announcement PM leads you directly to the tournament list
• When a tournament is added then a blinking link will appear in the Log window for easily joining the tournament
• When inviting a player to a game then it is automatically selecting the best rule for the selected game (Bombermad: 3 Rounds) to make things easier
• You can bet up to 50 gelats in Poker (might be increased later)
• Nicknames are filtered (some special characters being removed) to avoid problems in multiplayer flash games
• Easier navigation with keyboard: 'Space' starts a game, card games automatically select the first button in the start screen, when closing a game then it is automatically focussing the game list
