Even more fixes :) ... Mac Linux are up to date now too

We just got Mac & Linux back up to parity with Windows! That means this update gives them all the fixes below, plus everything listed in the previous two updates (here & here). Fixes:

We fixed the "upgrade" process for foreign users. There were exchange rate issues. Before, it was always "4.99" in local currency. This was fine for some people and a ton of Russians got to upgrade for the equivalent of 7.4 cents :) [don't worry, you get to keep that upgrade]...but it was a bad bug for people in Indonesia and Japan because the conversion was SO low that Steam wouldn't process it (it was less than 0.01). Should work for everyone now!
There was an error that would pop up in the case where one player moved a pawn forward 2 spaces, then the other player immediately did a Pawn Promotion or Castled. ^_^ ...the fact that people were able to give us such great bug reports on this so quickly is a huge benefit of having 80,000 players!

Thanks to everyone for playing & for all of the support! :D If you like our game, please rate it in Steam also. We've been getting several bad ratings from people who don't like that we made the game free (w/Cross Promotion & Premium Upgrade) and wanted this to be a for-pay game instead. If you like that the game is free, give us a review and make your voice heard! :) And lastly, I can't thank you enough for all of the great support & all of the detailed bug-reports we've been getting over the past few days since launch!! There are sooo many of you and you've hit so many bugs that we never ran into during testing, but with all of the help from the community, we've been able to get through almost all of the big issues & will be able to keep making great progress. Thanks so much for joining us for the ride!!! :D
