Changelog:

- Intel Mac Updater will no longer crash after this update.
- Added basic lua UI support for iup.Image{} for iup.label{} controls.
- Fixed SHA1 functions for 64bit platforms.
- Reduced memory leaks in Buddies menu introduced in the previous update.
- Slightly increased the size of checkbox controls.

Thank you guys for the image/SHA1. :)

Not a lot of exciting stuff, but some good fixes, and hopefully we'll have a new website sometime soon.

Hmm I can't get iup.image to work. Can I have an example?

Here's a plugin that I made that uses it. Type /lua testimg() to see it. I have not tested it on platforms other than win32, so beware.

local closebutton = iup.stationbutton{title="Close",
action=function(self)
return iup.CLOSE
end,
}

local img = iup.image{
{255,255,255,255, 0,0,0,255, 255,255,255,255, 0,0,0,255, },
{0,0,0,255, 255,255,255,255, 0,0,0,255, 255,255,255,255, },
{255,255,255,255, 0,0,0,255, 255,255,255,255, 0,0,0,255, },
{0,0,0,255, 255,255,255,255, 0,0,0,255, 255,255,255,255, },
width=4,
height=4,
depth=4
}

dlg = iup.dialog{
iup.vbox{
iup.label{title="", image=img, size="100x100", filter="POINT"},
closebutton,
},
title="Spawn Crate",
size="HALFxHALF",
}

function testimg()
PopupDialog(dlg, iup.CENTER, iup.CENTER)
end

Ah! Thank you. :D

Really? A new website?

The website's fine - get us to 1.9!

What DBZ said.

I'd like better stat tracking and stuffs.
I can't wait to see the new site :D

Unfortunately, the new site has no new stat tracking or anything else exciting, right now. But it does look a lot better. And this is important for taking advantage of the press exposure and free marketing we should (hopefully) get as a result of the upcoming Android stuff.

I know it's not a thrilling game change, but it's pretty critical to improving things for us as a business, and it is somewhat time-critical that it happen asap. A bunch of projects are converging at the same time, and I really want to have our best foot forward (from a PR standpoint).

FYI though, that most of the development of the site has been done in the background by others (not the dev team) for the last few months. We've just had to spend some time in the last week to integrate it more thoroughly with our codebase and test/fix things, to bring it online.

Personally, as someone who used to write html in notepad way back in the day I rather like the minimalist website we have now, but I can see it lacks a certain "Wow!" factor when it comes to attracting new blood. So good luck with the new site, hope it draws in some noobs.

The new site isn't that much more intensive, really, but it sure looks a hell of a lot better.

Equally important, though, it's far more "modern" in its architecture, and much easier to maintain (standardized XHTML and CSS, etc).

As long as there's no flash, I'm happy with the idea of a new site...

I think that one thing this forum is missing is polls. Will the new website have them ?

from what i'm getting its just a cosmetic buff on the site for press reasons.

poll functionality would be awesome too. [Stamp of Approval]™

Anything like polls or new stats displays or other areas would require us to be doing the work. The bulk of this website redux has been to push it off onto a third-party to create a "facelift", which we can use as a template moving forward.

So, basically, don't expect any functionality changes at all for right now. There are a lot of things I would like to add or change, such as adding a more character-centric stats display system that brings together all the disconnected data we have floating all over the site right now (cargo captures and duels and races and guilds and blah blah blah). I'd also like to see polls and other things.

But, for right now, a better first impression would be great.
