Hi Everyone,
It's new Development release time and the first release candidate for the new Stable. Not much new stuff in these releases content wise but lots of bug fixes. Please help us without with lots of testing and playing.
As a reminder when moving between versions:
1) Make backups of your campaigns and customs.
2) Always treat each release as a stand alone release and only copy your data forward from older versions.
