Release Notes 2009-04-13

Would you like waffles with that?

A few improvements since last week:


 * We found and eliminated some pretty nasty memory leaks. With any luck those leaks were the cause of the lag we've seen the past week or so. With further luck, the lag is now a thing of the past!
 * The read/unread indicators on forum threads will once again update with alacrity.
 * Rooms briefly pretended to cost 2 bars. They've been reminded of their station in life.

For developers:


 * Game authors should find they no longer have to upload their games repeatedly nor sacrifice any further virgins under a full moon before their update takes.
 * Line numbers, stack traces and friendlier error messages are back in server-side logs. Oops.

There'll be a new Whirled SDK on Wednesday with some nice goodies in it.

There are no actual waffles in this release.

Still no waffles

Bug Fix:


 * Trophy awarding was accidentally disabled in this morning's release. This release fixes it.

New bits that snuck in:


 * It costs money to start a party now.
 * If playing an in-Whirled game with people in a party, you will get a coin bonus based on the size of the party. Larger parties playing together will earn more coins.
 * Everybody in the party receives the coin bonus, not just the party leader.
