Christer and I have synced our schedules and determined Sunday, October 5th as release date for FFB version 1.2.0. We'll start migrating around 20:00 server time. This will likely cause some problems as we're going to use a new database, a new way to store replays, new player icons etc. We do have a fallback scenario switching back to the old (current) version if everything goes ballooney. Please have some patience with us and schedule important games on another date.

FFB version 1.2.0 will bring you:

- the Dirty Tricks card deck
- a Card playing animation when using a card in the game (thanks to WhatBall for the graphics)
- Player Markers saved by team (on starting a new game your players will be marked the same as in the last game)
- Custom pitches to be used for tournaments or your own leagues (thanks to Garion for putting a lot of work into these)
- a couple of new chat commands in test mode (set up a custom pitch, change the weather, add a card)
- a lot of bug fixes (such as 2x GFI on a TTM, lots of Bomb trouble etc.)

Plus a lot more technical stuff such as a new way to store replays (drastically reducing database size), a new communications layer (wich will allow for a JavaScript client in the future) and a better way to handle sounds (and hopefully avoid the client crashes we've seen lately).

Keep on playing!
