* many client crash fixed
* rendering issue with the target ring fixed
* targetring will no long spin crazily when you are on top of your target.
* added the beta version indicator. If the current beta is identical to live client it will also be indicated.
* added support for livetest / test new server version (both in client code and assets).

If you do not have the beta client and wish to install it. It can be downloaded from 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.

About Jey123456

As most people know, I am Jey123456, the french Canadian who like to hide in the snow and read memory dumps from both client and server crashes. I mostly handle behind the scene work, fixing crashes, improving performances and fixing other programmers stuff when needed. I also make sure the code remain maintainable and as properly structured as can be. Ensure the server hardware stay secure, running as smoothly as possible and that we have proper backups running as well as contingency plans if everything were to explode tomorrow. The closest thing to something player can see that i have been directly doing is applying patches and sometimes helping on bug tickets.
