It's been silent on the FFB development front, suspiciously, perhaps alarmingly silent and I'm sorry for that.

Job issues, health issues and the loss of my busy help Lakrillo (thanks for all your precious time, buddy!) have slowed things to a crawl.

But I'm still around, still working on the game and still determined to see it finished.

To enable further progress however, I had to take a step back and refactor the way the (many, many) states of a game are handled in the server. Too much code duplication, too many halfhearted patches here and there and a severe lack of documentation combined with some memory-leaks (on my part, not the code ;-) made growing the game ever more difficult.

So right now I'm doing some serious housecleaning before adding new stuff and I hope to remove some longstanding bugs in the process (as well as adding some shiny new ones ;-).

I need to ask you for some more patience, I'm afraid, as I can't give an ETA for the next release yet.

Game on! Have fun!
