- 07/08/2014 276.352 -
* The optimizations mentioned in my recent blog post are now in the beta client.
* Added glowmap for Shrimp
* Some more skins related data for livetest and soon live.
* new ship stat window (broken on live since it lack the proper message, but should work on livetest)
* Fixed the band at the top of the screen not being clickable
* Fixed an issue with the rightclick -> activate control bot not working sometimes when the ship had never been opened.
* the client now know if a ship has skins or not (non functional on live for obvious reasons)
* hopefully fixed the issue causing docked ships to appear when docking.
* fixed a problem with drones initliasation, causing them to sometime go out of sync.

- New micropatch 276.237 (This client contain the client side of the quickfixing session and is needed to connect to livetest).
* lower the autopilot message a bit and fix the message when traveling to unknown galaxy.
* Add an x button to the radar window
* Add a /command (/HideHuiMethod) to change the function of h from deadman switch to a toggle for the session.

* Added tooltip lightly explaining the benefit of DDS textures
* support for the first iteration (still wip) for the ship skins system. (SKIN_FEATURE_1_0)
* Added support for the server/client feature system, allowing for better retrocompatibility between different versions
* Multiple crash fixes
* Fixed the commodity tab in stations to be consistant
* Fixed an overflow causing the “owned” column in tradebay to go into the negative with more than 32k of an item.
* Fixed a flag related handle leak
* Fixed the issue that caused flags to randomly not show next to the ship nametag.

livetest will be updated soon with the first iteration of the skin system, this client will be required to connect to it (trying to connect with live client will give you an unsuported feature error and wont connect).

If you do not have the beta client and wish to install it. It can be downloaded from http://www.starsonata.com/dl/StarSonata_2_beta.exe. The installation is separated from the live client, and it is recommended you keep the live client at hand reach, in case beta client update break it for you.
