Release Notes 2008-04-18

Mostly just bug fixes this time, but there are a couple of notes to report:


 * We created the Whirled Announcements (name will probably change) discussion group which is where official announcements will now go instead of Brave New Whirled. Announcements posted here go to everyone's feed without them having to have joined the Whirled because we want everyone to hear about announcements. Also only we can start threads in this group but anyone can reply to them. You can put this group in your blog reader (click the little button at the top of the threads page for the URL) and not worry about hearing anything except Whirled announcements.
 * Friendships that result from the acceptance of a Whirled invitation will now properly show up in your feed.
 * You now get 1000 coins for every friend that you invite to Whirled that signs up. Yay coins!
 * We made the coin icon in the header shinier. Mmm... shiny!
 * We added a "Browse Items" link to the profile page so that you can easily go to the catalog and see items created by that player (excuse the wacky icon, we'll make a better one soon).
 * We added two My Stuff filters: "In use" and "Not in use" so that you can more easily see items that are in rooms or are not in rooms.
 * Fixed some problems with the CAPTCHA stuff on the account creation page. Hopefully people who were having trouble signing up will be able to do so.

That's all for now. Happy Whirling!
