Release Notes 2009-06-11

I'm Not Here, Please Move Along

That tofu with the far away look in its eyes, that's me

We gotz s'more updates fo y'all:


 * The registration process is now much more streamlined and intuitive
 * More small reductions to Whirled download footprint
 * Some improvements to the behavior of /afk, also the addition of the synonym /dnd.
 * /afk and /away always set you away
 * /back, which always sets you back
 * /dnd with no arguments toggles whether you are away or not
 * When you are away, all private chats will auto-respond
 * By default, the auto-respond message is "I'm away from the keyboard."
 * With /afk, /away and /dnd you can set your auto-response with an argument, like "/dnd Gettin snax"
 * There is no difference between these commands (right, Gyre Guy?), we are preserving the old ones for the time being to avoid feature shock
 * Editorial control of featured games

Peace. Out.

EDIT: PS, for all of you avid update readers, the June 12th restart only had some very inconsequential changes, no call for a brand new update thread.
