Hey Folks, This build is a small round of engine changes and tweaks before we take on replacing the API Client code. The existing API Client has long been a thorn in the side of server hosts, with intermittent crashes and cryptic error messages. As such, it's been largely rewritten (thank cameron1010!) and we're getting it ready for production now. The changes in this build are all fairly small (though I'm sure everyone will have their own opinion on that) except for the physics engine change. The resolution against terrain has changed a little and "might" fix the bugs causing clipping into the terrain with lag, and should improve the resolution of that when it happens. Please test it as much as you can and provide feedback on anything that needs improvement. Other changes that more than 5 people will care about include:
